I'm afraid it's not my story, the camera belonged to a local newspaper photographer (I'm surprised they use such low-end equipment, but when I wanted a battery to test the thing, she grabbed another photographers Rebel G and pulled out the CR-123 cells). The door isn't really broken off, just that the latch is missing and the metal conductor has come off the inside of the door.
The newspaper is switching to digital (she has a D30 another low-end classic) and I picked this up for a song. I wanted a small EOS body to take with me for "snapshot" type shooting. I'll pair it up with my oooooold EF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 (yes, pre-USM) or maybe use my EF 135 f/2.8 Soft Focus for grab portraits. The best news is that I may get to write a lease for the newspaper to upgrade to a raft of 1Ds's! Did I ever say that I'm a leasing broker specializing in digital photography equipment (photography is an avocation)? ...and I may get a chance to pick up her D30 for a song.
