Again Authorized Photo Service really came through. Monday before last I shipped several items along with my 500mm lens. I asked that the long lens get priority treatment and it did. The other items were my 300mm lens, one of Bre's lenses and three teleconverters (don't ask). We received all of the equipment back today, ten days later. Beautifully repaired, looking like new equipment. It felt like Christmas.

I took this handheld with the 300mm and a 1.7 teleconverter, a wonderfully sharp lens.

Now, if I can only avoid slipping on rocks and remember to keep one hand on my camera at all times.
