Photographers do it in 1/1,000th of a second...but the memory lasts forever!

If you assume something is wrong with your lens and your actively searching for a problem, it's only going to make you paranoid and in the end, drive you crazy. If something isn't right, it will show up in your images. Patrick Choi
