I Can Finally Use My Camera Again, 18-300mm C Lens
3

I haven't been able to use my camera in quite some time.  I suffered a break in my left wrist and forearm in April. I'm left handed.  The surgeon told me it was one of the worst he's seen - the Ulna was broken completely and the Radius broken in five places.  I'm just getting some use of my arm back now but have very, very limited movement in fingers and wrist.

I can now hold my camera as long as the lens isn't too large.  I cannot support the lens properly on the bottom as I should it but holding it on the side will have to suffice.  I got an 18-300mm C lens from someone prior to my accident.  I put it on my SD1M yesterday and found a small park where there were some dragon flies.  I got a couple of decent photos and am very happy with the sharpness of the lens, it will make a decent walkaround/travel lens.  The bokeh is a bit rough but I expected that.
