Kena sand in my old PnS superslim that scratched my lens

Dropped my prosumer cam from knee height (tripod broke apart (!!!) ) onto hard concrete. Landed on barrel, narrowly cracking lens. :sweat: Barrel cracked

Dropped my entire conversion assembly (adapter ring, polarizer, wide angle) onto hard concrete floor from waist level.

Dropped a D100 in my bag...

the drop cracked the hood of the 18-70 lens. had to buy one to replace it... haiz

How's the D100 and 18-70 then? As long as they are ok.... :sweat:

Some say dropped lenses may result in "misalignment". Anyone knows what that means?

How to check? When the images appear out-of-focus?

Never had and accident but did have equipment stolen...

Was in Oz several years back and some scum broke into my home and made off with the cameras, lenses, enlarger, negatives etc...

Alerted as many 2nd shops as I could in a 10km radius, gave serial #s and description so the morons were nabbed within a couple of days. Got most of the equipment back but the dickwads threw away all the negatives because they didn't think it had any value... ;(

Lost 20 years ... have never fully recovered from that incident... :cry:

I think the wind blew it away. It may be still floating in the sky.

Anyone spots a black object in the sky?

Or has seen an alien walking around with a Lowepro camera bag?

The most unfortunate accident anyone can have with a camera is to make it pregnant. And have a little Nikon or a little Canon.

This thread reads like a fotog's worst nightmare. Scary. :sweat:

If losing 12 gigabytes of photos, 6gb of which not backed up and around 1gb of unrecoverable and damaged photos; emptying your bank account to recover them, this is it. :bheart: :bheart: :bheart:
