Last night I was photographing a macro shot for a forum member as a suggestion when I became distracted by the TV behind me and DROPPED my fully loaded K10D (grip, 70-300 lens) as I turned to look. This is the second time; the first time resulted in a cracked viewfinder. The camera dropped about two feet as I was kneeling at my dresser for the shot. But damn! It hit the carpeted floor with a thud! I think it fell on the grip; I was semi-dreaming in horror when it happened.
Camera seems ok for now...........
I gave a short test. I may have been lucky, but I have yet to see............
Hi, Rob. The original post was more a comment on my stupidity than anything else. The lost is not significant in the real world. I did come home with four (4) images - none worth keeping.
I've hit the carpet with the K10 a couple of times myself, luckily with apparently no damage whatsoever. I am considerably more careful these days. I love that rig more than I should. I am finding the K10 matches my KX for lovability. It's a real workhorse for me. The SF-1 got me a winder, but just did not seem to be as desirable, although it was as reliable as the two other Pentaxes I had before it. The MZ-S is a reliable and marvellous little machine, but was always a machine. The K10 is becoming an extension of my eye as the KX was and as my original Asahi Pentax was. It is strange what we can get hooked on, is it not?
