Jim,

As always, thanks.  Sure would have been a pisser to learn this the hard
way.

Greg

PS:  Dear LUG

Need a 55mm to 60mm step up ring, as opposed to earlier sought 60 to 55 step
down ring.  If anyone has one they'd be willing to sell, please EMail me
privately.

Enjoying being enlightened.

Greg Bicket
