  He isn't the seller of the lenses. I just
quoted a posting of his (from dejanews) where
he commented on these lenses.

  Regarding his rep. I've heard nothing but
good things regarding his LF fabrications
and modifications. Perhaps he's found his true
calling doing work in this area (vs general
camera repair). But I have no direct experience
with him, so YMMV.

BTW who is this Rdssan@xxxxxxx who's trying
to get off this list?
