Now take the same lens and hold it steady on a flat surface. Take your favorite hammer and hammer the lens (not the screw). Really hammer it. It doesn't shatter, it only scratches it!

.... but don't forget to wear safety glasses while trying this experiment...an eye injury doing that would not only be tragic, but it would be pretty ironic

I sure hope I read that wrong because our crate is on the beefy side.

Fedex will ship to ONE regional, the Championships, and they will ship it back for free. Anything more you have to pay them to ship it.
