Well, Jim, I have to go back to the show and return or exchange the 
RD. Turns out that the aperture setting ring has seized, and I can't 
get it back on "A" no matter how hard I try to turn it.
I'll see if he'll exchange for one of the others or a Canonent or something.

:-(  I really liked this little RD, wish  it worked right.

I'll let you know how things turned out.

-Stephen.
