Wow,

I can't imagine how bad you are feeling right now - don't give up hope though, a friend of mine has done exactly the same thing TWICE, and got his kit back intact on both occasions - there are still honest folk out there.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you

I am pretty sure that is a really limited stock of this lens but for example I was able to reserved one Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM for £249 Nikon mount.

Did you reserve this to sell on - I was trying to reserve one myself to use with my D300, If you have it for sale I'd be interested

I have now received the copier from Eduardo - I need to work out how to use it and then find some time to copy the slides that I have then I'll pass it on to Tim.

Don't hold your breath though it may take me a little while to get through the box of slides.

Dave,

Is that an offer to donate/loan the 50mm lens ?

I don't mind doing a bit of admin work in terms of keeping track of what items are available and who's got what at any particular time - although there is still a doubt in my mind about qualifying criteria for borrowing items (do we loan items to new members with only one or two posts:

Ok,

You could start a "loan" thread for the item and I'll make it a "sticky" so it stays at the top. Just keep a track of what's going on and where it is in the thread.
Following Eduardo's very generous offer to donate his slide copier it appears that we have our first communal item of photographic equipment.

I was first to respond to the offer and hence get to use the copier first and will pass it on to the next forum member in the queue - which currently is Tim followed by Kris, Gary & Lynton.

John, I'd be grateful if you could move this post to the most suitable location & make it a 'sticky' as you suggested.

Oooh oooh I think I might be first in the queue
It appears that so far Tim, Kris, & Gary are interested - in that order (I think).

If no one has any objections I'll PM Tim when I have finished with the copier and send it on to him if he'll take responsibility for forwarding it to the next in the queue.

Only problem that I can see with this is that once this topic dies visibility of the copier will be lost to any other forum members who could potentially use it, any ideas for keeping it alive and visible ?

Any takers?
Now there is a handy tool, couldn't this be made into a forum share type device, I am sure there are many users who have slides they would like to digitise. I have seen this done on other forums where someone uses it then posts it onto the next person on the list.

Always seems to work well on other forums too.

What you think???
I think it's a great idea - any ideas for administering the sharing, it seems like there may be a queue for this.

Eduardo,

I could make use of that - I have a box full of slides that were taken by my late grandfather.

I'm sure that digitising some of the images would be appreciated by the family.
