Thanks for the pointer... but I was rather hoping to get it done today, as I need the lens tomorrow. Doug Herr (on the LRflex list) was able to give me some help on this. I was very lucky.... the lens seems to have survived perfectly, other than the lens shade dent. The focus us smooth and still seems accurate. Same with the zoom function. (One beauty of digital is the ability to conduct quick tests!) But the sound was **most** unpleasant... not to mention what it did to my heart rate!
