Many, many years ago I was knocked down while photographing a sporting event (no, not by a player). I landed ON the front lens element of my 50mm 1.4 FD lens, mounted on a Canon FTb, with all my weight on top. Actually took a chip out of the front element. I put a little bit of black paint in the chip, and continued to use that lens and body for years. Couldn't see any problem with the images unless I was shooting a test chart. Don't build 'em like they used to, I guess. ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
