Wow. How about we throw another camera into the mix - say, Camera 9 - to REALLY confuse people?
Bloody Bahstahd. Can't leave well enough alone can ya?
OK, Ideas?
Micro rounds with Zeiss 2 1/4 point and shoot folders? I have one to donate with a couple rolls of Ektar 100.
ROTFLMAO
9A, 9B, 9C, 9D, 9E, 9F, ... shoot it till it dies?

Duuuuuuude!!! We have a hard enough time sending around point and click cameras! Now you want us to focus? And on a folder?
Come to think of it, it would be kind of fun to shoot the larger negative. We're gonna need some big fat humongous chickens for that!

I'll have to find the pic of the 56lb turkey we cooked a couple of years ago, it was bigger than my daughter. We raised the hybred white broadbreasted/south american giant just for the season. We fed 30 people with loads of leftovers, split the bird in two and cooked it in shifts.

Just need to take one pic in the morning, then I can hand 8.1 over to lmn. Going to be something on-topic for this thread. Namely, live poultry, since we have a chicken coop in our backyard.

Folders are great. Focus can be done by rangefinder, if coupled, but most times just scale focus. Guess the distance to subject, then set distance accordingly. Guessing focus can be very forgiving, but can also be determined via SWAG method: Scientific Wild Assed Guess (my personal favorite).

This is the bit I'm worried about. It got lost last time on its way to me. I can't help but feel partly responsible as I moved house and forgot to tell anyone. Then after it did find its way to me, it got lost forever on its way to Mr Black Dog. Guess where it has to go after me this time!....

Steve,
Rest easy. I was in the same boat. I never received the North American v7 camera. Camera 8 has come and gone successfully... oh damn, maybe the curse of 7 put that car in front of Pcyco!

Sweet. It seems the battery door and dead battery issues have been resolved?
Just one more perp, and this baby is almost home!

Yep. Didn't use the flash, and the door's taped. I did discover that it's a good idea to hold the door closed, since the tape does allow a little slop in how the door's held closed.
Just waiting for a response from Lisa. PM'ed her a couple times over the past few days, and sent her a text this morning. Hopefully she responds.

Hi!
I didn't get the PMessages, but got the text this am. We are in the midst of water heater woes and between that and New Years, I don't know when I'll be able to get away. John, do you mind just dropping it in the mail?
Lisa
Holy user error, batman! I missed all those PM's. Sorry guys! :(
I messaged John my address and, Shawn, I got your message. Will shoot and send as soon as it gets here.

Lisa - no problem at all! You are the last shooter with this camera. Take your time. MAKE IT COUNT!!!

Lisa, I can do that. Another possibility is that, since I'm likely to be over in Kenmore tom'w, I can drop it off and leave it on your doorstep, if you'd like. Or, better yet, just let me know when you're ready. Saves one trip to the post orfice.
With respect to the house stuff, BTDT. From the 16th through the 22nd of this month, my family was living at the Redmond Marriott Residence Inn while our hardwood floors were being refinished. Septic tank backed up a month or so ago.

Seriously? You need to get out more.

Happy New Year!
