Lens Borrowing - 12-24mm~

Hi Guys,

I am off to the east coast of America on Friday (leaving home around 1115), and the 12-24mm Nikon that I have ordered hasn't arrived yet. I ordered it through Poon as well as a SC-29 Sync Cable. Apparently the Sync Cables are no longer in stock or perhaps production.

I am in American for 3 Weeks:
Leaving Friday the 18th of May at 1430
Returning, hopefully, Sunday the 10th of June at 0725.

If anyone around the Rockdale, Mortdale, Kogarah area would be kind enough to lone me a wide angle lens for this time it would be greatly appreciated. If the borrowed lens is damaged, lost or stolen (I have Travellers insurance) I am more than willing to replace with my new 12-24mm as it may arrive after I have left.

note: this is only a contingency plan, if my lens isn't delivered
Cheers
Laurie
