Dropped my bag

Did you try to snap it back together? Seriously, I hear that's been successful, but I don't know about what kind of break was encountered in those instances. And it's only what I heard on the internet, so take it with a grain of salt.

But do try to snap it together, just in case.

wow so that 1.8 50mm is really ALL pastic...

I tried to get it back together, but a couple of the tabs look broken. If others have managed... I'll do some searching and give it another go!

Thanks!

Have you tried pushing the two halfs of the 50 f1.8 back together?

I did... but no dice. Based on other replies... I'm going to give it antoher go.

Nice shot there!

Too bad about it though...good thing the camera is ok!

It really does make you wonder why bother with a protective filter on a nifty though.

Yeah, the Hoya is as much cost as the 50!

True, maybe the lens saved the filter...

Yup, good thing the lens was there to keep the filter from breaking.

Actually, I was (and still am) a rookie... and just assumed I'd need the filter when I bought the lens.

In canada the fifty seems to be more expensive though. A year + ago when I bought it i think it was around 100.

That hurt
And to me anything cost more than a 6pack of Heineken isn't cheap when it comes to completely loosing it. And if anyone thing other wise please send me a cheap gift of $70.00 and if enough people sent it I can buy me and the OP a 1.4

What did you end up doing with the nifty?

I wasn't able to get it back together. It is a photo subject now... and a paper weight... that is about it.

I'm just uploading some test pics with the focus test you suggested on the other thread. I did the focus test when it was suggested here, and it seemed OK (a bit of a back focus). Now that you mention on the other thread that it looks off I have done the test again... and now it looks pretty obviously off.

Is this a problem?
