I was there when a full sized Labrador ran into Jostein's 645+lens. It made the most sickening thud/crack. 645? Unharmed. Lens? Needed a new barrel/helicoid - I forget which. It would probably take something akin to a tactical nuke to terminate a 645. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
