    WOW = Thats redicilous!! affraid Can the crack be repaired with a small soldergun-heating & melting a small area? Ive even used (years back) colored celephane over or inside- that or just a junkyard search / inquiry.

    I bought two lenses for 20 dollars, but they were in the same condition as my originals. I needed one though becuase a bird took my drovers side out, and i just have a spare now.

    Ouch at $250 is correct. I bought the same thing about 2 years ago for under $40, I guess I got lucky. Pity no-one repops them.
