So, What have you LOST lately?

[Jimmer411]

I see threads on what did you buy or sell, but nothing on losing items. And lets face it, we all lose things ;)




Ill start. I managed to lose 14GB of memory cards (out of my total 18GB) some how in the process of moving. The funny thing was my camera gear was the first thing that I moved, and I put into my new bedroom 2 days before I moved the major things over. Ive searched high and low, in the trash and nothing. Very hard to take my new 50D out for a stroll with only 1 4GB mem card.

I lost the hood for my 24-70 in the middle of a mosh pit on New Years Eve.

[Oteck]

I started loosing money when i started buying these damn gears

[johnnybfan]

Have you seen the stock market lately??????
But really, I got 2 8GB flash drives a couple of weeks ago and put them somewhere and now I have no idea where somewhere is.:oops::oops:

[Lani Kai]

I think I'm about to lose my sanity. Do I keep my 1D Mark III or switch to a 5D Mark II?

[Duncs]

I lost the battery charger for my 400D. I hunted high and low for it, tore the whole house apart and still couldn't find it. I bought a new one from ebay in the end, as soon as it arrived in the post, I found my old one... in my camera bag :oops:

[Swaffs]

Thsi may be hard to believe, but last month I lost a 1DMKIIN !

I had just colelcted it from Fixation to have the shutter replaced (£300) and when I changed tubes on the way home, I jumped off leaving the bag there!

How stupid was that!

Thanks heavens for Insurance as I now have a MKIII, and cash left over to go towards a 5D MKII.

[rklepper]

I have lost several things. The last thing that I lost was the hood hat off of my 70-200L. But it was so windy that day that port-a-potties were blowing over.

My daughters say that is a perfect reason not to use them. :)

[ajbalazic]

my mind.

[SYS]

When I purchased an extended eyepiece, I remember putting away the original eyepiece somewhere. I searched for it everywhere, but I just couldn't locate it.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

my mind.

You took mine!

[mikerault]

Myself, but I am going out to look for me, if I get back before me keep me here...

[ajbalazic]

You took mine!

Great (lost) minds think alike!

LMAO

[howaboutnow]

I always seem to loose those damn lens cloths that fit into jacket pockets, pant pockets, cup holders, compartments you don't know what they are for. etc... :S

[Big O]

lost the AA battery tray for the new grip I bought ... never even got to use it.

[Wazza]

The hood off my 17-40, whilst in a backpackers :(

[birdfromboat]

I always lose eyepieces. Aquatechs cost me 32 bucks, yet I still lose them. regularly. thanks for providing me a place to vent.

[DrunkenGarbageCan]

2 gig micro drive. I used to guard the thing till memory prices dropped. Been missing for a few months now

[DennisW1]

Recently, a couple 1D MkII eyecups, damn things kept falling off.

Several years ago, a CF wallet with 6 2gb cards in it.....fortunately i had already transfered all the images from them onto my laptop. What sucked is that was before they were so damn cheap, cost me a bundle to replace them.

[Belmondo]

I've lost my spark (such as it was).

I've been known to leave a tripod or two laying around, but nothing lately. (knock wood)

[Johan Groenewald]

Re: So, What have you LOST lately?

I don't know

[superdiver]

I lost an angle grinder and my random orbital sander this last year...I have NO IDEA where I used them last...

Good thing the porta potty wasn't in use then:

[nwa2]

Hood on my 10-20mm sigma

[nwa2]

I do a lot of late evening shots. I need to be sooo organised with my kit shooting as it gets dark, easy to leave a filter on a beach in the dark.

[-Pleiades-]

I don't loose anything I just put stuff in really safe places till I find them again....

...like the lens cap for my 24-70, it's in a really safe place, so safe I can't find it.... :rolleyes:

[jchargu3]

Cant seem to find my lens cap to the 50mm anywhere.. So im using a white balance disk as a lens cap lol

[Mr B Snappy]

It's probably hooked up with mine. I lose stuff all the time... the wife calls it tidying!

[dispatchermike21]

my mind.


+2 I lost it twice last week.

[jchargu3]

Shot a wedding saturday

Kept losing my EX15 extender and the little rubber eyepiece constantly, found them though

ANd I kept losing my dang speedlight stand that i Had another flash mounted to lol

[BrokenRoad]

I lose things constantly. Currently lost are my tweezers and 2 lens caps. I know the tweezers have nothing to do with camera equipment but it's bugging me.
My sanity has been lost for many years.
I lost my train of thought earlier too. It crashed into a ravine and I'm not sure that it is salvageable.

[tomjd]

Lens cap to my 70-300. Had the camera around my neck while staning on an observation deck overlooking a bird/marsh area. Bumped it and the cap popped off and fell right through the crack like dropping a dime into a puggy bank from 3 feet away. A second or two later....I heard the tiny "splash".......my brother who saw the whole thing found it quite amusing...

lol, sorry but I would of laughed too!

[Lonnie]

What, no recent ex-virgins here? :)

My 350D eyepiece has been missing for quite awhile now. I also lost the quick release plate for my 486RC2 ballhead. I decided to go without the eyepiece, but I gotta have the QR plate - it's on order now.

[Robbierob]

well Ive lost more lens caps than I care to remember! I lost a Sigma 500mm /f8 lens (luckily it was a huge piece of junk) and ive lost my sanity to my POTN addicition

[Permagrin]

rocket blowers....lost everyone I've purchased. And TC lens caps. Lost 2 of those. GAH..

[Paul J McCain]

Is there anyone else who doesn't lose things? I can't recall the last thing I've lost... ?

[TwoShot]

If I did lose something , I haven't found out yet.

Somebody misplaced the charger for the ipod, (wife blamed me) But I see it setting on the kitchen table last night when i got home from work
(of course she has not said anything about it yet)));)

[Robbierob]

so youre one of those guys huh.....LOL ...just kidding, :lol:

[yihchun]

Three eyecups: one on the 1D Mark II and two on the XT. A few front caps as well; I like pinch caps since they're easier to manipulate with a hood on, and I can't seem to find my Canon caps...

[Belmondo]

This is not recent, but it bears repeating..

A lot of my lenses use a 77mm lens cap. For some reason, I was losing them. I would go to the camera store, buy a replacement, and promptly lose another one. This went on for months. I finally got frustrated, and ordered 6 of them from B&H. I figured I'd get ahead of the game, and have a few spares.

Shortly after they arrived, I started finding the missing lens caps here and there. I found one in a jacket pocket, another under the car seat, and yet another one in the trunk of the car. One by one, they all came back. Before I knew it I had bunches of 77mm lens caps. I'm sure I must have 9 or 10 of them in the drawer where I keep odds and ends. I also have several rear caps, accumulated in much the same way.

I'm not getting rid of them, though. As soon as I do, I'm sure I'll probably start losing them again.

[MDJAK]

nicksan is still trying to lose his virginity. :lol: :lol:

Unless your nicksan :(:(:cry:

[Lonnie]

Speaking of lens caps...does anyone else do this: Whatever lens I am taking off, I always put the rear element cap on the lens I am removing from the lens I am putting on. I've always wondered if some people actually keep the correct rear caps with the correct lenses.

[That_Fox]

I lost my Vivitar flash and 2x teleconverter, I can't find them anywhere. And just when I was going to start using them again too :(

thats me...i could never know which end cap was the original now...i just pull the switch -a- roo

[Belmondo]

They're identical, so it's not a problem, just like body caps.

[Lonnie]

I'll betcha there's quite a few people on this forum that are anal enough to make sure they keep them with the proper lens though. They'd hate to mix an L rear cap with a kit lens rear cap. :)

lolol...too true

[AustinRoepke]

The only camera gear I've lost lately has been a lens cap.. But I lost my wallet on vacation to Gettysburg a while back :(

I think I've also lost the appreciation for the value of money... My 70-200 F4 is cheap compared to L lenses, but I paid more for it than my friend paid for his car lol

[oomus]

Ditto but mine was a charger for my 20D.........
