Yes Jerome in Colombia. As to choosing the Batis I was just experimenting to see what would happen.
Peter, that is an amazing answer as there is a big price behind such an “experiment”! Did the dealer lend you this bespoke glass to see if you would want to buy it?
I once was taken aback when a VW dealer in Iowa City, Iowa, gave me the keys to a brand new VW luxury Caravan, (with sleeping for 2 adults and 3 kids), without even taking my driving license, as hostage! He said, “I know where you work so there’s no worry you won’t bring it back after the weekend!”
However, I have never had a camera store allow me to take a new Zeiss lens within 3 ft of the door!
