[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I didn't suggest Focal Point because my understand of what Jon does is to do a marvelous job on the glass... My reading of what Jeffery wrote about the dropped lens was that the mechanism was the problem --rather than the glass itself ---and I believe that that work ought to be given to someone who can competently straighten the metal and restore the lens to its former self -- but not insofar as the glass is concerned... Of course if the glass is also affected, then Focal Point is the place to go ... Regards, bob cole In a message dated 6/4/2007 10:58:08 A.M.
