another one bites the dust...

[cbwaters]

On my recent journey to northern Michigan I had yet another run-in with 
gravity and impact.
This time it was my Super Program and A-50/2.  I'd carried the camera on the 
flight with me and jammed it into the backpack while we were landing because 
it needed to be under the seat or some such per the flight attendant. 
Unfortunately, the pack didn't get totally zipped I guess since the camera 
plopped out onto the parking lot as we were trying to fit six people and 
luggage in to my moms four person car.  On initial inspection, it didn't 
look bad but later, when I tried to use it, the lens wouldn't focus.  I 
noticed a dent in the filter ring and I guess it landed hard enough to chunk 
the lens's internals.
Now, this isn't an expensive lens but it WAS part of the kit that I received 
that started me down this  Pentaxian road... and I liked it.
It's the third or fourth lens that I've wrecked in the few years I've been 
shooting and it pisses me off.  I feel like I've let these things down with 
my lapses of concentration or judgement and allowed them to come to harm.
Anyway, I guess my self loathing rant is over.

Be careful out there
