Is dead. Error E18, Canon users may know this. The lens is off-angle and therefore cannot close. My dad's buying me a Olympus and sneding it today, but once he does, I'm going to ask him if he's ok with me letting a tech guy try and fix the lense. The 2 strategies are compressed air on the cracks, or twist each lens until it clicks. We'll see if he lets me, if it works I may use it instead of the Olympus, but I think the Olympus is going to be mine, where as the Canon is my moms (I'm just using it sicne she doesnt). Who knows. Talk to oyu guys later. Week end coming up. All I got to do is a 800-1200 close reading of a poem, I chose O Captain, My Captain.
