Gurrr!
Went to clear the table tonight for dinner and went to pack away my 400D which the GF used this morning to take pics of the tinsel she's attached to the car... (I know, I know!) and the kit-lens on it was extended out, and I always twist it inwards before packing it away, only to find it wouldn't twist...
"Apparantly", the dog knocked it onto the floor, and the GF's kid didn't tell either of us in case he got shouted at...
So... it was either actually the dog, or it was the kid who knocked it off the table!!
Luckily it appears that the end of the standard 18-55 EF-S kit lens took the brunt of the fall (weight of the 400D plus a battery grip), the camera appears to be OK.
So, erm, couple of pics then! (It is the photography section, after all!)
The picture of tinsel attached to the car (which I am going to have to drive around for the next couple of weeks) the cause of the camera being on the table:
Suspect 1:
The dog (Asbo):
Suspect 2:
The kid (Kai):
(The car is running... he started it himself... thank heavens he can't press the pedals properly yet!!)
And finally, a 100% crop, taken with my nifty fifty... appears pretty sharp to me still, so hopefully no damage to the 400D.
Now I've got to get myself another lens, as I've only got the nifty fifty which fully works, and a couple of old Sigma lenses (28-70 and a 75-300) which doesn't work unless they are locked wide open (give Error 99 on the 400D otherwise)
