Bill, no it wasn't. but I did loose the prism of one Nikons a few years
back. I was shooting Barry Boggs's G scale layout for Model
Railroader. His railroad was a fairly narrow multi-level shelf design
in an attic (and in Texas attics are cramped) so it was crowded with my
equipment. I used a older Nikon body with a Polaroid attachment to
preview my shots. I had laid the camera with the plastic part on the
rails and completed the shot. The next shot required moving some RR
equipment as well as my stuff. Well one of his smaller engines pushed
the camera to the floor. The only damage was the prism. I would guess
with today's plastic cameras either it would have survived just or fine
or be a total loss.
