How can you say such a cruel thing? But if I did that, I'd get dust on the lens! "sob sob." I mean it's really important to keep dust off the glass surface as it'll derange the light morphisms going to the film destroying the image quality I spent all those thousands of dollars for the most important lens glass in the world. :( I mean, imagine just what one tiny speck of fluff will do to my magnificent Leica images. sob sob..I've gotta have the lens caps on! )wiping sobbing eyes.:) How could you be so cruel to even suggest I throw lens caps in a tiny box and leave them hidden alone in a dark cabinet! I'm really crying now, oh dear me. I can't believe you could say such a horrible thing about those dear little dust catching caps I spent so much money for! :( :( oh dear I can't go on....... sobbing uncontrollably! :(:(:( "Watching way too much daytime TV!" :) You mean spirited cold hearted Newfoundlander! :) And here I thought you were such caring people. :) Excuse me I have to give my lens caps a tender loving stroke then replace them to each sparkling clean lens! :) And if you believe this....."you've been watching TOO MUCH daytime tv! :) <<<<>...all said in jest with just a hint of truth :) >>>>>>> Greg, more truth in your comments than most folks will realize. :) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
