Given the type of lens (extreme telephoto) and the fully extended lenshood protecting the narrow field of view of the front element, I think it unlikely that there would be opportunity for the sun to cause much damage. Given that it is not being carried in a vice-like grip or wrapped in cotton wool, it is probably a company lens - so why should she care? The body is probably worth 1/10th of the value of the lens..... > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > > William Robb > > Sent: Monday, 18 February 2008 5:10 AM > > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > > Subject: Re: Published! > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Boris Liberman" > > Subject: Re: Published! > > > > > > > Great.
