Jesu forfend Glen, I am just trying to muster up the courage to clean my CCD - never mind about taping up the mirror and going in with a bent nail!!!!

Imagine how Maxwell (or Mr Poon) would react if you told them that you had performed a DIY back focus fix involving the insertion of a bent nail into the guts of the camera! :roll:
