Hi guys.
Well I broke a couple bits of my kit today. Out photographying airsofting I fell on some rocks and went down with my cameras. The 30D/24-70/2.8 L it the ground and then I fell onto of it. The 24-70 snapped off and still had part of it in the mount. The 1DMkii/70-200/4 L it the rocks on its bottom and damaged the battery.
This is the lens that snapped off the 30D and the camera and lens took the weight of me when I landed on it.
The bottom of the battery that broke off. The camera hit the rocks on its bottom where the battery is stored.
This is the piece inside the camera that is preventing the battery from being put in.
All the bodies and lenses have scuffs and covered in dirt. The lens that snapped off the body will most likely be replaced. I'll also need to get the 70-200 (white lens) calibrated to make sure nothing is wrong with it. The camera bodies also need to be checked and calibrated incase something has misaligned inside after the big impacts. Each calibration is around £150 :| Going to phone the insurance company and repair companies and see what's what. I'll keep you posted on the things.
Thanks
