Driving to work this morning I saw a couple of crows divebombing a hawk perched in a tree. By the time I got there, the crows were gone, bu the hawk was still there. I pulled over, put the 1.4x on the bigma, put them on the K20 and put it all on the monopod.
After a few minutes of shooting one of the sections of the monopod slipped. I lifted it up to lengthen it again and the quick release manfrotto ball head released, dropping my camera, bigma and TC five feet to concrete. The damage to my two week old camera seems to mostly be to the plastic housing, though the mode dial doesn't seem to work. No matter where I set it, it works like it's in M. The hood for the bigma is cracked. The zoom is now a bit tighter. On the bright side it seems to have solved the zoom creep problem. I hope the rest of my day improves. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
