I guess I lost my concentration and got a little too vigorous with the canister... suddenly a stream of frosty stuff shot onto the front element. After I finished bashing my head into the wall, I had a look at it... it was kinda greasy. I immediately took a lens cloth and wiped it off, and followed that up with the lenspen. Then I inspected the lens under strong light... appears to have no discoloration. Looked through it front and rear... no fogging, clear as a bell, not even any cleaning marks (lucky considering I was literally scrubbing the stuff off in a panic). I guess I just need some assurance here... I didn't damage the glass did I? I guess shooting some test slides would help, but I need some reassurance (or otherwise) right now!! Thanks in advance... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
