Actually I think I threw it away or it's still kicking around in some bits & pieces box. ;-) The cost to have the pins replaced was far more than a couple of good bottles of single malt scotch, so common sense prevailed. So the lens as you say.. "is still being used naked!" Sans flaring of any kind. :-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
