It is god sign to you to buy a 5D + 17-40L now.... Glad you are all right from the fall, better go for a quick check-up though, sometimes you don't really feel some side-effects from it.

yup, i'm considering to get that combo

already got a checkup but the doctor said that i'm alright no broken bones just my left arms needs a serious treatment,

thx there jason

Hi Paten,

First of all, glad to hear you survived with minor scrapes. That is the most important thing!

Regarding insurance: it was an accident, so I don't think the insurance can blame you. I would contact the insurance company if I were you. You slipped, which is an accident, hence not your fault, and as a result fell and dropped your camera. I'd suggest to read the fine lines of your insurance policy, and then contact your insurance representative.

Feeling with you; kindest regards, Wim

thx wim

okay, maybe i'll do that and hope i got a positive answer from them

Glad you're okay. I took a film photography class back in collage. On the very first day the proffessor asked us not to get carried away. The very next day I caught myself doing a high-speed-chase-shoot-out on my way to school.

I'm sure Canon has a cure for your lens.

well, this is something that must considered before doing some dangerous shooting

i hope they have it thx there shutter

glad you're still around.

and hopefully, those shots were worth it too!

was the sunrise really to die for??

but seriously..
thats amazing that you only came out with really minor injuries..
bad luck about the 400D and 10-22 though..

Just glad to heard you are all right, cameras and lenes can be replaces, people can't so watch your step next time.

Hey, at least you're fine!

At least there's a properly good reason to upgrade now!

Wow, glad you are okay! That makes my bones ache just thinking about it! Good luck with getting your lens fixed.

once again,... it's a miracle.....

Yikes!!! That was some fall. Lucky that the only thing broken was a lens. Could have been much worse. Glad your ok.

Wow...glad you weren't hurt worse....that could have had a pretty tragic ending with that stone curbing for a landing zone. Camera gear can always be repaired or replaced...not so with people. Like was previously mentioned, you should go buy a lottery ticket!

That will buff right out!!!!





















Seriously, glad you're OK. "Things" don't matter that much...

glad to know that you are ok. ashamed what happen to the camera and lense. but at least you are still around and camera are replaceable. but you are not.

WOW! I know you've heard it already, but really glad to hear that you were not hurt at all! Next time, make sure you put a mattress under you...

in this case i say to hell with camera.

glad you are okay man and that you had the wherewithal to thoroughly document your near-demise .

My brother pray to GOD , that you are still alive.. Thank GOD for the rest of your life if you have not been doing so already.. Don't worry about your gear.. you can always get new gear but you only have 1 life.. so thank GOD and be carefull next time...

wow that sux. good to hear your ok

That camera was capable of 3 fps up to 27 you should have been able to pinch off at least 10 in that fall. Did it feel like you were falling in slow motion? I love the recap photos and happy that you lived to share.
