I didn't actually kill it, but I did seriously wound it. I slipped while climbing down from a photo tower, and my camera came into contact with a substantial fence post (think telegraph pole). The MZ-S body went one way, and the 250-600 went an other way, still with the lens mount attached (rather bent, by now). A quick trip to Colorado restored it to full health, albeit at a price which was a significant portion of what a new camera would have cost me (and slightly less than the deductible on my insurance policy).
