            <p><a href="905.html">The lense that was broken</a> has been remade. I took my Sigma 300mm which was broken at the mount point for repairs last week and today, went to pick it up. The lense/camera repairman is a real expert at the job. I thought the lense was destined for the dust bin but apparently fixing such breaks is a routine task for him.</p>
            <p>He is an old gentlmen named Mr Perera at any given moment you find at least two stripped down cameras on his desk. More than anything else he likes to chat and when I just about to leave he asked me what do I do for a living?</p>
            <p>How do you explain the internet to someone who dosn't have a computer and has never used a computer? He certainly is intelligent and knows his optics as well as (or better than) some physics lecturers I know.</p>
            <p>How do you explain software to someone who can fix any film camera made during the last fifty years but wouldn't touch a digital camera with a barge pole?</p>
            <p>How do you explain online transactions to someone who doesn't use a credit card. It took me more than half an hour to explain all this to him but he was still scratching his head when I left. The lense is almost as good as new though.</p>
