| Got my Lensbaby for Christmas. I went on a shoot today, and I definitely need some practice and good advice. Put me in for the challenge, please. |

Sigh....
I just checked my tracking number at the USPS website - says it was delivered! Woo hoo! Except it says it was delivered to somewhere in Oregon. I'm not in Oregon. I'm beginning to think this just isn't in the cards for me. Definitely not in the cards for January at this point. I'm bummed. |

| Still no sign of shipping the Lensbaby to my home, it's still "processing". This is weird. |

Get on the phone with that Customer Happiness gal at Lensbaby, Deb! They do a good job addressing concerns and maybe they can look into it. I'm pulling for you - if  Melethia doesn't have a lensbaby, the world just doesn't make any sense. ;) |

I sent off a note to the Customer Happiness gal and got a note back that they're kinda "off" until the 5th of January. Sniff... So in all likelihood, I shall be Lensbaby-less for this month's side challenge. But y'all will do good things and I shall follow along just the same.
Oh, and they're back in stock at B&H. But I shall have to wait to find out what's happened to the one from Lensbaby before I reorder at B&H. Maybe by February. I shall have my own side challenge then, yes?

I went to the Lensbaby site and saw a few different versions. Which one would you want if you could choose one of them?
Does the composer do everything the other LB's will do? |

Aw Deb...that sucks! Maybe you'll have one in your hot little hands by the middle of the month. If not, I'll hang with you in February for the-ever-so-patient-Melethia-finally-got-her-LB-groove-on side challenge. |

Did get a note back from the Director of Customer Happiness - she said based on the info I gave her it got returned to their warehouse but she doesn't know why. She'll try to find out on Monday and let me know. So do I cancel that order and try again through B&H? |

Test out her Customer Service and ask her if she can send it overnight due to the mix up. Let her know that you have a project that you were going to start with the lens on the first and it's uber important to have it by then. I bet due to the mix up she speeds up the shipping to you with no cost, if she doesn't you could cancel and go through B&H and not really lose any time since B&H won't ship the order until Monday afternoon anyway. We are going to get you this lens Deb! |

Sadly, there's no such thing as "overnight" to an APO address. Best they could do is overnight it to New York, then it goes into the APO system. The advantage to B&H is they're right across the street from the Post Office, apparently, that handles the APO stuff. So they are pretty quick - one week is considered "overnight" here. :-) I shall wait and see what I hear on Monday. I'll get one eventually. Perhaps in time for Christmas next year! |

I'm sure no one will mind if you get a late start. Heck, some have started already. Looking forward to seeing your shots! |

No word back from Lensbaby yet, though I do realize it's only mid-day on the west coast. I'll check back in the morning my time. Just waiting to see if I need to order again from B&H, though I figure about the time I decide to do that, they'll be out of stock again.... Heh!
And yes, just checked, and they are out of stock of Composers at B&H for everything except Pentax.

Don't be a lensbaby. :P
You'll just have to catch up. Should be easy. I find it easier to come up with several decent pics each day for the lensbaby side challenge as well as macros. Other side challenges are usually a struggle.
Looking forward to your pics, Hanneke! ...and Deb! Both of yours will be worth waiting for, I'm certain. |

The continuing saga....
So I ordered mine initially on the 11th of December, way back in 2008. I did get notice yesterday that the first one from B&H (wrong lens mount) has made its way back to them and I have received credit for that one. My second attempt through Lensbaby directly originally shipped somewhere around the 20th, I think it was. Didn't make it far before it went back to their factory (no customs form). Sent a note. Got a note back saying they'd reshipped and would send the shipping info. That was about a week ago or so. Sent another note a couple of days ago. So now waiting to see which I get first - the Lensbaby or the shipping info.
