I really appreciated the LUGGERS effort, looking after a fresh new photog like myself. It felt really comforting to know I had this resource...its funny..each time I would read a comment and talk about it aloud while I look at the lens..my wife kept saying.."who are these people honey, do you trust them, you don't know them , why are you listening to what they say," and the answer for that is while going through this on email..I felt confident to be left totally in the hands/mercy of the LUGGERS. It was a good feeling to trust people you never see or might never see...(and that to me is why we all use this incredible machine..huh?)...I love it........... thanks Ya-all Ruddy > The optical unit is so far retracted into the lens I cannot see how it > could be a body problem.
