The most lost/misplaced items of photography.

[Digger...]

Well yet again I've lost or misplaced the quick release plate for the dam tripod. If it's not this it's bloody lens caps, but what i really lose the most is the eye cup thing'y.

I seem to always knock it off.

I've lost/misplaced my quick release plate "again"!

 

[Digger...]

Plan on tearing the whole dam house apart tomorrow. Swapped it over for the mini tripod plate for the mushrooms last week, got me stuffed where its gone.

A replacement takes a month to get here from china.

Nope can't find it, even went out bush to have a look.

Yes digger knows he's only talking to himself here, but he hasn't had a conversation for 1000's of years.

Ps. Done looking for it, if it turns up I'll have a spare & I'll name it Harry.

I found a few for a good price and picked them up a few years ago. I had 3, I still have them all. But the one from my other tirpod is gone, and I only had the one. They only disappear if you actually need them.

I generally lose my mind.

Glad you found 3 of'em 21 for a good price, im just gonna order 2 myself. Got another tripod here but its not ball headed and it's really grabby/sticky.

I generally lose my mind.

But you find it again don't'ya?.

I've lost more lens caps than I can count.

Im scared to put lens caps on greybeard.

Last year with the 1 year old telephoto lens growing fungus in it rattled me. The 2 kit lenses haven't grown anything in the elements and there 4 years old and stored/treated the same way as the big telephoto lens.

The repair fella said it may be because the telephoto lens was an oldish model that was probably sitting boxed in a store/warehouse for years, some spores found there way in their some how.

He said to keep my lenses in a bright'ish room ect and to just leave the caps of'em, since the fungus grows in dark environments.

But that lens basically lives on my only camera and when im out i do sit it on the ground/grass/dirt ect.

I think i introduced the spores into it.
