All right, I'm on PayPay with my US dollar account credit card and have sent the email to SLR Magic in Hong Kong requesting an invoice for the 50mm APO in titanium. Just waiting for them to wake up and see my email! It's just after 7 am in Hong Kong on December 31st so I should be able to just make their promotional pricing since their deadline is the 31st.
Bit of a tough decision buying the lens without a PL mount camera! Hopefully I'll have both in the spring to f 2016.
I also called PayPal and talked to them on the phone about various questions I had. They were very helpful.
Hope this is the first of several excellent prime lenses from SLR Magic to be delivered in 2016 otherwise, I'll be shooting with one lens for a while.
Big day for me as I'm finally committed to BMD in a roundabout way. No turning back now. Only taken me 3 ½ years and counting. I know it will be a full fours years waiting. Patience? Insanity? Either way, I'm in great company and enjoying the ride with you.
Special thanks:
to John Brawley for all his advice and immense patience and for his lovely test of the prototype 50mm APO on YouTube in January 2015; and
to Kosmokrator for being the first (and only?) person to upload to Vimeo his quick test of the first production run of the 50mm APO.
