FWIW, I wouldn’t send anything but the body, well wrapped, first in a ziplock bag surrounded by your packaging material. They’ll have batteries and memory cards on hand.

Don’t know how long it will take now but in the past they were quick on my stuff. -----Original Message----- >From: John <jsessoms002@nc.rr.com> >Sent: Feb 15, 2021 4:22 PM >To: pdml@pdml.net >Subject: Re: Happy Valentines Day! > >I don't see any damage to the lens or the lens mount.
