Pass the RF - part 3 - UPDATE

The camera is in Norway but Eric is having some trouble with the Norwegian Customs office. Here's what was written on the subject.

EricFive:

The camera has arrived in Norway with custom problems. They are asking me for a receipt of the purchase or a copy of my bank account and I havent paid anything

Need some info from the original owner so I have sent RML a PM. Hopefully I will have it at the beginning of next week.

OdDbaLL:
Having had numerous run-ins with the Norwegian Customs myself I offer you my sincere condolences. I've had luck asking the sender to write a letter explaining that the item is of a low value. Hope it all works out. I'm next!

This is yet another little setback for our travelling FED-2! But if we can get the camera out of Uzbekistan; we can get it into Norway!

To the Customs officer handling Eric's case: please, be so kind to let the camera through. This is just a fun project where people who know each other only from the rangefinderforum pass a little cheap camera from one person to another. It's a way of bonding, a way to get to know each other a little better, a way for people in faraway places to cross oceans and cultures. The camera is mine and will ultimately return to me again too.

Ondrej posted some his results on his Spyderman blog. He got some nice shots with the travelling FED. My personal favourites are the following.
