Subject: Scary 200mm story
First time shooting the DA*200mm lens last night at the Museum of
Contemporary Art. It was dark, crowded, and I had had a few champagnes
already. In between sets, I had the lens and camera on my shoulder as I
made my way to the bar. I do remember thinking it was odd the lens felt a
little loose. But the results seemed ok.
This morning, I took a quick look at the lens. Three of the five screws on
the mount were missing! And the other two were loose but still holding on.
Luckily I have a collection of 50mm f2 "body caps" that I never use.
Pentax use the same screws on the mount after all these years, so now the
200mm is securely mounted. Phew. The angels must have been watching over
me last night.
