Is often the truth...
but this time it was one of my D2x bodies, which took an almighty wallop as we crashed over the desert this morning in a WIMMIC land rover (stripped-down and with a rotating gun-mount in the back).
All AF functions have ceased and it barely operates in manual mode - there's no 'in-focus' indicator lighting up, so it's all by eye from now on, which as I discovered is more difficult than it used to be with these newer fine, bright screens. It was a POP with the old coarse screens with a fresnel and split centre.
This has been a sh*te trip and this has just been the ici ng on the cake. All this faff for a few happy snaps of a fat politician and a couple of happy snaps of the lads watching footy on a wide-screen TV... (did I not mention that one of the jobs was to photograph the lads 'cheering' in front of the wide-scree plasma TV that was provided by The Sun newspaper?)
Hot, dirty and now very p****d off in Afghanistan...
