[Genealib] locking up the microform reader/printer lenses

[Beth Oljace]

We also have two lenses for our Canon reader/printer.  (Yes, they are 
expensive, but the second one was one of my best buys ever.)  It's been 
completely unmolested for the 7+ years we've had it.  The spare lens is kind 
of strange-looking and spiky and I've never even seen a customer touch it.  
Actually, I'd be more afraid of visiting librarians than anyone else.

We have a new Minolta 6000 microfilm/microform reader/printer with 2 lenses 
of different magnifications.  I know that these lenses are expensive and we 
are debating wether or not to lock them up in a drawer or something.  Now, I 
don't like to lock things up because then they can only be used with staff 
help but I also don't want to lose them.  Has anyone ever lost one of these 
lenses to theft?  
Thanks,
Elaine Hayes
