Jim Brick,

>>Ever see a Leica technician......clean a lens<<
                  >>You should call 911<<

I actually saw Ernst Hartmann, at the Kennebunkport seminar,
clean lenses. You're right, it's not for the faint-of-heart  ;-)!

Now, I did not call 911; however, I did develop "cold sweats".

Even though my rational part of my brain says you're right;
it's still quite hard to actually take off those filters. I have
shot w/o filters & there are differences......mainly with apos!
