yes lead is very dangerous, if you hit someone over the head with a camera containing lead, it is much heavier and much more likely to kill them....... :rolleyes:

one day will we not be able to leave our houses there will be so many laws, having said that, having lived the best part of a year and a half in a foreign place where not even the police take notice of laws, or if they do it's to get a bribe, i scarily find the thought of a lot of laws somehow refreshing and attractive..... :frown:
