basketballfreak6 Goldmember More info | day 12 of my 365+1 project  damn body decides to wake up 5am in the morning (went to bed at 2am) and saw this beautiful sky outside my window (this colour only lasted like 10 mins), while pretty it also frustrated me that I wasn't at say Dicky Beach again to capture the seascape along with this sky, shot with 500D + Sigma 30mm 1.4 square crop and noise added via Lightroom 4 beta i know it's not the 60D, but I sent it off for servicing yesterday so this will have to do for now :P https://www.tonyliuphotography.com.au/

Looks very beat up and wondering what the other side of the lens looks like since he didn't take pictures of the opposite side. My Gear:

The filter glass is broken and the front element has now been lodged into the filter ring, that's the reason I wasn't able to get the filter ring off. Neither the zoom ring nor focus rings will move. I believe the entire lens is no longer round, as the hood won't even come off. The lens is destroyed. Nick, I know this wont make you feel any better but if you have a free moment in your lifetime go sign up to CloudyNights, ICEinspace or Astromart and do a Forum search for "UPS TELESCOPE DISASTER". Over the years I have heard Story, upon Story, upon Story of $5K-$10K Refractors (similar in size to a 70-200 2.8 with a hood extended) being destroyed by the UPS guys. They pay those packagers minimum wage, work them to death and have timelines that noone would work under. "The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." -Bertrand Russell
