Didn't you read Tina's post about what happened to her equipment in Honduras???? Even if you aren't nuts... you are extremely brave! (and good for you.... I just hope Tina doesn't have to take you up on it!) I had my Canon 20-35L FD zoom come apart internally Saturday while I was taking pictures of a Christmas party in the Quito garbage dump. It only zoomed to about 26mm and I couldn't focus on any point farther than about 12 feet.... but the images look fine...... Thank God for depth of field. This lens has literally bounced all over Latin America.... (everyone drops a lens at some point folks) I'm amazed it's held up this long. Anyhow.... The lens actually is on more or less permanent loan from one of my brothers...... I'm tempted to return to it him as is......this being Christmas and all..... But... then again....... Anyhow.....I'd be scared to borrow your lenses Bob. Especially if you told me to treat them as my own!!! Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador
