I posted this a few days ago:
"Good to be back. Power was out for 12 days. Two trees down on our
property, a third leaning at 30 degrees over our patio. One old pine
tree fell where I would normally park my car. We got lots of usage from
our LED AA powered flashlights and then invested in a 7000 watt generator.
I've attached a small pic though I don't know if it'll go through. "
That kept the message from going through (limit 40K).

Hey, I'm glad to see you're here. I was concerned you were without
power after Sandy. I checked the Long Island Power Authority's outage
map and saw there were still several hundred customers in Huntington
without power. But maybe you were without power and just got it back.
This reminds me that I was at Sands Point, Long Island in 1976 when the
eye of Hurricane Holly passed overhead. Looks like Huntington is maybe
10 miles away so you probably remember that one as well.

Another good article from LensRentals.com. On price and turnaround for
repairs Tamron looks excellent and Olympus looks fairly good. Not so
good if you own Nikon or Sony. One interesting observation is that
large, fast lenses have higher repair rates than their slower brethren.
The highest frequency of repair items tend to be big, f/2.8 and really
big f/4 zooms. I guess AF motors and drive gears suffer the effects of
moving large masses. There are also comments about specific weaknesses
of certain lenses and bodies. There is a very high frequency of repair
on the Canon 5D Mk III and Nikon D800s bodies and the Nikon 70-200 VRII
for a tripod foot that's too weak and is easily bent. If you're in the
market for new (or even used) gear this is a recommended read.
ps: I guess Tamron looks good on repairs since John Hermanson is now
working there. :-)
