FCN Broke Lens
13 years ago
This is a coyote... I'm making a note here HUGE SUCCESS.
You might heard I was down for some parts of FCN
Well the reason I was down was I broke a lens (pic) at Furry Connection North.
The story goes is this. I had it on the bed. As I was setting up a few other things for suiting the bed got hooked and pulled the blanket a foot hard dragging the camera off the bed.
*slow motion starts here*
It started to fall
I grabbed the strap of the camera as it was falling
Instead of falling straight it then went into a pendulum and smashed the lens and landed the camera on the ground with a thud.
The lens was sheered in two. Part still mounted on the camera. Other part well in pieces.
The AF button actually popped into the air and flew into a action packer.
Well not a good time that was my f/2.8 17-50mm zoom lens. After i broke it i realize I had nothing underneath 28mm. You probably see me walk backwards it's because I really didn't have the focal length I was needed for the picture. It's also used on almost every MNFurs picture by mooring and some by yarrick. Anything studio used that lens....
While I like the challenge didn't like losing the $$$ for the lens.
So my pics are actually with a super zoom and while I am happy with the pictures I took with it still wish i had my f/2.8 back
Will I replace it
Yes
Will it cost money
Of course it will
and that will suck. But I will survive :)

I'd freak.
I shall mourn for your loss.
I've dropped lens filter first and there is nothing so horrible as picking up a lens and hearing tinkling glass.
I hope you can get a new one soon the 15-50 2.8 is a great lens i have one to :).
some day
If I plant a dollar will the money tree grow.
That is under warranty with accidental damage coverage.
Truth be told I am past the life expectancy for photos taken on this camera too now. So I could wear it out....
The 5DMKIII is going to have a better lifespan than a Rebel T3i spec wise.
Still you never know.
I'm past due on mine :)
