Well Tom, I got out of my car this morning with my new Nikon FM3, with the
45mm attached. I was, unfortunately, parked on the edge of a 200 meter
cliff. I ended up dropping my camera, as I was getting out of the car, right
off the edge of the cliff. When I got down to the base of the cliff, the
camera and the lens were fine. It appears the Pentax UV filter on the lens
absorbed all the force from the impact and was itself, miraculously, still
intact...
