Thanks, Ken. I forgot about Altex. I did have to get other supplies as well: a 67mm lens cap and a shoulder strap for my new tripod. But next time I will remember to order from Altex. I don't think I've ever ordered from them, but I know you guys endorse them. Big thanks for the reminder. Cheers, Christine
