lens saver

i'm not toally convinced the lens would have been damaged but i'd like to think that the filter didn't die in vain

it was damaged when i was carrying it in hand luggage becasue it would be safer for me to look after it camera was in a camera case inside a rucksack. funny that i dont remember jumping up and down on the bag but hey these things happen i guess.

anyone else cracked a few filters in the past?

funny man Joker.

na you could tell from the cracks that it took an impact from the side, one little piece fell out and the whole lot just collapsed.

haha yeah, snowboarding with binky, he came back in one piece!!

it was him who found it broken actually, he asked if he could have a look at the camera so he took it out and had a priceless look on his face. i only planned on using it for one day so lucky the lens was unmarked and undamaged in anyway. goes to show the cameras and lenses are pretty tough

you know ppl have said that before, and ive changed the damn thing twice already. guess it depends on what lyric website someone decides to use??

no damage to the lens at all. when i unscrewed it, it was fully intact, and even made the flight home without the glass falling out. all the glass fell out when i dropped it on the table at home.

i didn't think hoya filters were considered that cheap? certainly a lot cheaper ones around , any recommendations? to be fair it was hit at it's weak spot at the side.

bottom line is the lens is insured so i wont lose sleep
