hi there, no i didn't use "protection" except for the idea that later in the day the sun goes through layers of earth's atmosphere and lessens it's power to harm a camera. one time in viet nam a friend and i were taking shots of a fuel tank farm that had been rocketed and was burning out of control. it was high noon at the time and my buddy set his brand new asahi pentax 35mm down on the ground lens up, lens cap off. i didn't notice it for some time and when at last i did his shutter had melted like an ice cream cone left out in the sun. i guess that the lens magnifies all of those sun rays right onto the shutter. my friend was devestated but we all learned a lesson.

yah i do rick but it'll have to wait for a scanner. i was in the 600th photo squadron in viet nam and so i have a few 8x10 glossies of the event as well as my own. our mission was to document the war and it included almost everything that you can think of.
