Ah well, I was pretty pissed yesterday when I found out that the lens may be irrepairable (but a second tech is going to give it a shot), but after ruminating overnight, I awoke this morning, and realized "hell, it's ~just~ a lens!"
People are starving in the third world, we seem to be slowly lurching towards a war, the homeless are literally freezing to death on the sidewalks and alleys of our city as we are heading into the second week of the coldest spell of weather we've seen in a couple of years. And, I sit here in my warm apartment, with all the comforts I need, including loads of cameras and lenses, and I'm pissed? Nah, it's just a lens (although my favourite), and I'm dealing with a very reasonable friend (hi, Steve!), and a competent repair shop. And, you're right, Pat. Sometimes good things do happen to good people. Tom calls it "paying forward". It'll come around... <vbg> cheers, frank Pat White wrote: > Don't be surprised, Frank.
