Thanks in advance... Don't worry, if you can't see any damage, there isn't any. The propellant from compressed air isn't going to etch the surface. Leica's coatings are pretty tough. The only thing to worry about with compressed air is that it gets real cold when using it in long spurts. It has been known to crack glass from the fast drop in temperature. Espeically susceptible is some low dispersion glass I'm told. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Capt'n! The spellchecker kinna take this abuse
