I am interested in this project as well,
but was thinking also about customs. The value of the camera should really
be under 50 US,- dollar, and the package marked as GIFT, otherwise belgian
customs would charge about 20 euro VAT and Handling! would become an
expensive project... I'v got another idea for the project as well...
couldn't we send a pinhole around the globe, or a 50mm MIJ or so. Much less
expensive, and easily replaceable if lost? And we can all use our own OM's.

Just an idea!

Iwert.
