Some of you know of this organization, web site http://www.sl66.com. Dr. Mark Meijer, CEO and VP, has been a source of information about the SL66, and has bought and sold equipment. He has had many auctions on eBay. Suddenly this summer, he stiffed many eBay bidders. As can be gleaned from the eBay public records and from the web site http://www.astrokorea.com/spboard2/board.cgi?id=markmeijer he failed to deliver on 18 auctions which ended August 31, 2005. The amount of money involved was about $40,000. During the same time frame, I had a deal with him and lost out. We agreed that he would attempt to sell a Carl Zeiss Rollei 150mm f/4 Sonnar SL66 lens on consignment for $400. I sent him the lens, he received it, but he has not responded with any information about a consignment sale. I consider the lens gone. I post this information to the RUG for two reasons. One is a warning to anyone who might consider doing business with Dr. Meijer. Two is to ask for help. I'm in New York, so a trip to Beverly Hills is unlikely. I would be very grateful if anyone closer to Beverly Hills could find out more about what's going on. The street address is 220 Lasky Dr., Apt. 8, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Even a phone number would be helpful. Of course, if you are considering buying a Carl Zeiss Rollei 150mm f/4 Sonnar SL66 lens, be aware that s/n 4608142 is stolen goods.
