Day 49 - "Near disaster"














Day 49
I'm not sure if I can call it a lucky week or an unlucky week, first the hard drive failure, but I didn't really loose anything, now this evening I picked up the camera back pack and two lens went tumbling onto the concrete! I feared the worst, I picked up one and was sorry to hear the unmistakable sound of loose broken glass, I just put them both back into the camera bag and took them inside, it was a few minutes before I could bring myself to pick it up for a closer inspection. Fortunately it was just the UV filter glass on the front that was broken. What relief from my grief.
I used this same lens to take this shot. At this stage I cannot unscrew the outside frame of the filter, hopefully the filter thread on the lens will be okay and it has just jammed.
The second lens also survived, however the polarizer filter has a rather large chip on the edge.
