I would have been ready to kill by friend even though it wasn't really their fault. Keep your zippers done up or somethin important is sure to fall out.

T.D. Moderator  More info | Feb 12, 2007 21:20 | #18 belmondo wrote in post #2698243  It's true. Actually, I didn't drop it. My BIL did when he was helping me empty the trunk of the car. He grabbed my Mini-Trekker, and it was partially unzipped. A lens fell out, bounced a couple times on the garage floor, and rolled under the car. Now I guess you know I carry some pretty expensive glass in that bag including my 50mm f/1.2L. My 24-105L is in there as is my 16-35L. We finally fished the lens out from under the car, and it turned out to be my Thrifty Fifty. I guess that's why it bounced so many times. Anyway, I just took some test snaps with it, and it seems to be just fine. I am now going to go change my undergarments. OH CRAP!!!

I would have had to change my entire outfit and would probably have needed a breathing treatment as well. Thank heavens it wasn't any of the good glass.

I kid, I kid... :p   Hey...those are supposed to be disposable, but I've never disposed of one yet. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

When did voluptuous become voluminous?
