Anyone here have any good/bad > experiences with these sellers, or know another reliable source? I have bought a few times from sellers in Russia, without problems. The last time, a month ago or so, it was from a guy whose ebay handle is "order300" or something like that. He has the Zenitar. My transaction (it was for a Fed 2 Leica copy) was quick, and the item was as described. Just stay away from the ones that only accept Western Union payments, as the fee can be very high (like about $30 to send $120, or something crazy like that) j -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
