Here is that shot again, but cropped through the HB app rather than on my phone: 90851235-734B-4AAA-B70C-5226F5A9DB20.jpeg Another she got of the dog (also cropped): 70BF5416-1E2D-4275-B695-7EDF1E91B66B.jpeg My first picture with it. The focus isn't where I wanted it, but it was through a glass door...

I ordered it back in December naively thinking the estimated availability which was in January. I also picked up their 80mm lens at the same time so she had something to open for Xmas (this was supposed to be a Xmas/anniversary gift). It looked like we were getting close in March, but then COVID hit...

That should still be a 958.2 I believe. There were some issues with the 958.1 V8s, but I think that was fixed for the .2s (thought the Turbo had the last remaining V8).
