Steve,

I was asking Ted that question, whether only questions that interest him are 
allowed here, since he had jumped all over me for asking a question he 
didn't like (but which many others have chimed in they do like and it is 
worth asking).  Ted has since retreated and said it was fine to ask a 
question about lenses.

Bob
