In
nearly forty years of using an SLR camera I’d never managed to drop a camera
until…
The
east coast railway line dissects a simple road running from Hapuku Lodge down
to the ocean-side. As we stepped over the line, my camera fell, lens-first, straight
onto the track. I’ve always advocated use of a skylight filter to protect the
lens and that decision paid off big time. The filter ring was severely dented
and buckled but the lens was undamaged - a £20 filter avoided the need to
replace a lens worth significantly more.
