My EFS 17-55mm IS lens a few years ago rolled off a waist high table where it fell onto the floor. When it hit the floor it made a loud crack where my jaw almost hit the floor as well. The floor was covered in berber carpet so there was a little padding but with that impact everything stopped working on it. Sent it in to Canon where the newspaper that I worked for covered the repair so I got lucky.


Every time I continue to perform a stupid balancing act with my lenses in my hands along with the camera body, lens caps, filters and so forth I invision something slipping out of my hands. Some day its bound to happen where I will be crushed when it does but hopefully I can just continue to be lucky.
