Wow.  I guess it's a good thing when a question sets of such a cascade
of conversation.  I learned a lot.

I'm not hot on the idea of sending the borrowed camera in for an
unknown length of time plus it'd be horrible if they did something to
it that monkeyed it up with the lender's lenses....

I think that I'll start off manually keying in the lens settings, do
some focus tests, and see what I learn.

Thanks for all of the input.
