You're very welcome, CyboRob.
My poor camera slid off my shoulder when I was bundled up for a New Year's outing---broke the lenscover and jammed it on: it had to be broken and levered out shard at a time---though the lens [Canon] survived just fine. I finally got it fixed, but have no lens cover at the moment. I'm thinking it makes the pix just a bit clearer. Not sure. I'm at least glad to find it's still functioning. Murphy's Law dictates the camera will never hit the snow just 3 inches away, but the nice scraped concrete. But all's well that ends well.
