XXXXXXXXXXXX John, Now you are putting me under all sorts of pressure ;-) As I recall, he put the unprotected lens into his camera bag, and caught it on a "sharp" edge. He is quite happy to admit that the "incident" was nothing but his own fault. Its funny how you can do something stupid at the worst times, and how "funny" fate can be. My last two cars have small cracks in the windscreens made by rocks thrown up from the roadway --- on BOTH cars, it happened on their maiden voyages, and has (touch wood) not recurred. Is "he" showing me that my preciousness should be expelled from day one? Strange. I'm grateful the rocks hit windscreens not "leica" elements ;-) Cheers Alastair Firkin http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
