Okay Everyone... I received the parts.
I have a lot of very good news for y'all, but I also have some bad news.
First the Bad News:
The price has gone up. I was not able to keep my production costs down enough to sell them at the previous price. I was forced to raise the price to $38 USD. I'm very sorry... I tried very hard, I promise.
Now the Good News:
The Focus rings are made of Aluminum (anodized black). These things are made very strong, and work very well. I can explain the details about what happened with the plastic ones some other time... but for now I can say that the price would have had to go up much more. (It was purely a money thing)
Here are some pictures of the ring on the Camera:

I plan to begin sending out PM's tonight.
Thanks everyone for waiting so long...
