It sits on the desk until Saturday and you get some more shots and ship it out later that day.

Sorry, photography is more than BS snapshots to me.

If you don't think something like that would work for you, then I'd reconsider even participating in the project. None of us, especially us later in the list, want to see the lens sit around for a month. Even averaging in 2 weeks including shipping times, I'm already looking at next December/January until I see the lens.
It's not going to sit for a month, but 2 weeks is fine. Nobody should complain about it, it's an old lens that you're borrowing for free. It gets to you when it gets there, although if you prefer having it for only a couple of days, I can't say I'm looking forward to your results. I intend to put a whole roll of slide film through using this thing, and if it takes 2 weeks, well, dealwithitdog.gif.
