      I did this lst year.  It took a while (about 3 months) and a
      lot of e-mail.  Kalimex claimed that their bank claimed to not
      have received the wire.  Finally my bank had a trace done and 
      the wire was `found' and the camera arrived.  I'm very happy
      with the FED and carry it with me almost all the time -- something
      I am not willing to do with my much more expensive RBT S1.  
      I think the FED represents a lot of bang for the buck -- its
      most frustrating feature is not knowing what shutter speed/aperature
      it is using when shooting in automatic mode.

                                                       Later....BC
