Nikon lenses bounce!

Yep, it has been a while since I have dropped something!

Well, today was the day! Dropped a 105mm DAF while changing lenses in a local cemetery. Dropped it from about 3ft onto a concrete roadway and luckily it bounced. Most of the impact seemed to be taken on the side of the lens. No damage to the filter ring (otherwise, the filter would have shattered and it would have been a nightmare to get off). Otherwise, the lens seemed to survive. I used it for the rest of the session and, besides a couple of external scratches on the barrel, it worked a treat.

I guess this is partly why I use some much Nikon kit. :@)
