Paul, hope your doc is wrong and you get back to full use. Ice is a bugger! Had my footing go out on me on a steep traverse here in Japan. Full ice slide was at least 300 meters straight down and I said my Hail Mary's as I started sliding. Mountaineering skiing, so no ice axe with me, but a kind young pine tree stopped me about 10 meters down and only broke two of my ribs along with a punctured lower lip. Bravely got up and past the traverse, took a couple of aspirin, slapped on the skiis and had some of the most beautiful spools on pristine powder snow in a deserted forest. Guess I had to pay my dues before that!
Anyway, best of luck in getting full use back. I called the dealer today and a lens is about $32, so i will go for it. E-bay would be nice, but sending them to Japan would take time and money. I will pick up the lens tomorrow.
moo, ratch....cheers! appreciate the info.
