Hi all,
I realise to a lot of people this probably seems really fickle but I am quite annoyed with it...
Yesterday I was kindly able to borrow a 75-300mm telephoto lens from a customer of mine, as well as his monopod.
I'm not pointing any blame at him but anyway the end result is that he took my dslr out of my hands and screwed on his monopod, not giving me any chance to see that there wasn't any rubber to protect the plastic casing on my dslr body.
I baby my gear and whilst I realise a DSLR is an instrument / tool and not a piece of art (and that inevitably it will show its age) it's still very annoying that I've taken such good care of it, to then have this happen in a split second! I bought it at Christmas so it's only 2 and a half months old. Is there anyway that the chip can be repaired or should I just learn to move on?!
I guess I could get a battery grip if it can't be repaired (but I'll still know its there!) or use it as an excuse to sell and upgrade to the 750/60D next month.
