Any damage to the FA77 anyways? Or was it a small drop from the bag? Can't wait to see your pictures!
No it came out as soon as she picked it up, so it just bounced a couple of cm's from above the surface and then rolled into the lip board, and not very hard at that. The construction of the lens, as everyone knows, is world class, so no damage to it, and then because it was in the case it wasn't scratched. Which is great, because I like my silver lens to be clean

Seriously, though, that could have been one hell of a horror story. Glad it didn't end way too badly for you (and the 77mm)!
(P.S. Next time you visit the Tour Eiffel, if you happen to have a 31mm with you and your sister tags along, please warn me ).
Honestly I'd be more worried about the person on the ground than the lens. In all seriousness, that could kill someone.

I forget what the appropriate "temper-tantrum" smiley is.....
Like I said in my other thread (
the story about leaving my camera bag on a train), I just recently finished a whirlwind Euro-trip traveling with my sisters (photos are comin - I will need a few weeks because catching up on the past two weeks' worth of work is obviously my priority). The itinerary was Germany (where I am currently living) to London to Dublin to Paris to Barcelona back to Germany. I rightfully deserve that regarding not mentioning my itinerary here, and I apologize because until I got your comment, I regret to say that it never crossed my mind. The several weeks leading up to the initial flight out were incredibly hectic, and while I would have LOVED to meet for lunch, it simply slipped my mind. My most humble apologies as my
previous meet-up experience with a PF member was nothing short of fantastic.
