umm i would never ever ever let some stranger hold it or do anything with it.
as a matter of fact i wouldnt even let my family or friends use it. i let my husband use it ONCE and never again. he put the front lens cap on and forgot to put the rear cap back on the lens after dismanteling it after i've told him that the back one is more important then the front one. i think he hears my words backwards
