- Good lens. I did not know all of the information about the skills of fencing. I have a friend that did fencing when he was in school. He still talks about it. I am glad I have had a chance to read more about it. Thank you!

- I admire the grace, agility and skill of fencing. Fencing matches are some of my favorite scenes from old movies...Oh, the swashbuckling heroes... and Zorro! I guess that's why I've enjoyed the Olympic matches, too. This is an enjoyable and instructive lens. Thanks!
