uv filter saves the day! acts of a careless fool.

i hope you guys/girls had fun at the aw.
anyway was photographing the lastest track meet when the rain hit hard and fast. didn't realise my bag was still open when i ran for cover. then when i stopped i heared a drop on the pavement, 50mm was the poor victim. upon further inspection the filter had absorbed most of the impact and cracked its glass. the lenses itself stuffered a smal dent on its plastic body.

so remember folks filters help(so does checking your bags before you move)

Pays to be safe then sorry Thai, glad you got out of it with a stuffed filter and no major problems with the lens. Ok mate how did you go at Mallala?

That was close I have done a similar thing picking up my bag which was not closed. Fortunately it fell onto my lounge and not the floor
