Now I know why L glass is worth the money

Put on my photo backpack on my way out the door, zipper was unzipped, 100-400 IS falls on the garage floor..HARD..

Put it on the camera, no problems at all...

Now I get it...

I carumba

Eek. I cant imagine LOL.

Wouldn't make a habit of that, though!

Ouch. Good thing its built to last.

lol lucky you!

Yowza! Glad it is OK. The build on these lenses is great. I just got my 4th L lens today, the 24-105L IS, and was comparing it with my 28-138 IS. The build is like going from a Yugo to a Mercedes Benz.

ouch. im glad its okay

I think I would of vomited a bit if that happened to me.

I'll have to try that with all my lens's when I get home. Just to make sure they were all worth the $$$ I paid.

Perhaps you need a pouch, like a marsupial?

I think they call those "fag bags".

I just noticed a user with 1 post just listed a 100-400 in the FS area, LOL.

Hmmm... You sure it's okay?

canons are strong, they do afterall have many explosions inside them on a daily basis =P

i dropped my 430ex onto the ground, it was on an oc-e3 cord, i was squated down reviewing my last photo, had it resting on my left leg.. and it slipped and hit the ground, about a 1 litre bottle drop height, no damage, no marks. scared me
