Is that left right left right (one matched pair per side), or left left right right (all the way across the back)?

Don't hassle the guy, man. He might be dislexic.

Besides, look where he went to skool. Obviously he comes from the poor side of town.

Just yanking your chain.

I can beat up the newbies. Older forum members tend to beat me up.

If this guy gets a ticket for putting lens in on wrong side, it is all your fault. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

(But lets keep beating him up.)
