Re: Anyone destroyed an EF 70-300mm L?

And another one...

Had my new 70-300 L for two days and when swinging the Thinktank Rotation 360 around with force, the belt bag got loose, flew through the air and bounced on the ground.

Well serious, according to the others my face went completely white in a second.

The lenscap had smashed into the lens thread and couldn't be removed. For three days I circled around it like a caged tiger before I got the courage to take the cap off. This was only possible with some tools and took me an hour, doing it as careful as possible.

But the lens was fine, and still is today.

Never trusted the bag since then
