Know exactly what you mean! This was 2 years in the making..., bought it prior to exotic coating run (HAIII Grey), had it shipped directly there and had it coated and when I got it I shipped to milky for an upgrade (beautiful wqarm MC-E with boom reflector).
Sorry - NOT FOR SALE, need to take a set of photos with macro lens versus my G9....
Great light, has the most marvelous hand feel due to it's exquisite machining, unlike any other light I have owned. Good Luck in your search. I couldn't part with mine unless I was in some very bad financial straits.
