Wow...that sucks.

Got my 35mm f/2.0 today for my T1i, went to the park to test it out, slipped on a sheet of ice, fall lens first into the pavement. :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:
When I got up and looked at my camera, the UV filter was shattered and there was a chunk of plastic chipped off of my battery grip. I was, of course, majorly pissed. Of course the ice was nearly invisible (black ice):x. I guess it could be worse though as my camera still works. The lens on the other hand is a paper weight at this point (wont work at all). I will have to sing my "happy song" until the shock wears off.

Damn thats rough man, at least your camera works. How much was the lens?

 

[thebeatles]

roughly $300. At least it wasn't the 35mm f/1.4 L lens which costs about $1300.

Sorry for your loss.

That does suck! You might buy a lens hood too. It's not just for lens flares.....

If you don't have your camera specifically insured, homeowners insurance may cover the damage... though there is often a deductible.

Sorry to hear it, though.

Damn, that sucks... Did you get to use it at all before it broke?

Just hope that the deductible isn't more than the cost of the lens...

****ty to hear...

I would look into Camera insurance, I have my body an lenses insured for full replacement, for just a couple bucks a month. Definitely worth it and something to think about.

Where do you insure them?

Sorry to hear it... but better a lens broken than the owner.

 

[tresguey]

I would be thinking that my lens was damaged in shipping.
