Not sure what they guy in the middle of John's first photo is, but he's a complete star.
I was chatting to him on Monday at the show and decided to show him a problem I had with my FA77mm. It had a very small mark (which looked like a chip in the glass to me) what I had assumed was under the glass. He spent quite a lot of time looking at it using a lens off the display as a magnifying glass and came to the conclusion that it was some sort of deposit on the front of the glass. He then tried all the things I had done such as using a lens pen and cloth to remove it before using a cloth, water and elbow grease which totally removed it.
I came away a very happy man, one of my best lenses was not indeed broken as I had suspected and I didn't have to send it away to be looked at.
Worth the entrance price alone.

There will always be open days and small exhibitions around the country, but the logical place for easy access for all seems to be the NEC. Half way from everywhere, close to nowhere....
Best regards, John
