Re: Avoiding lens slipping off camera? 40-150 f2.8 came off today...

I don't try to be careless or go out of my way to invoke situations where damage can occur. But as with any tool, wear and tear is a fact of life, unless it's there just for looks. But I can appreciate something brand new getting some unsightly damage and it irks you for a while, but as long as things work, it's not that big a deal.

I have a 4WD that I take bush all the time and it has pinstripes, a few dents and other marks because they are things you can't avoid if you plan to take it bush. I've seen 4WDs with everything attached including the kitchen sink and, despite being years old, still look like they came off the showroom floor.
