About a month ago I was on a boat with 3 girl friends. The K20D with the
DA* 50-135mm was in my lap, & I thought I had the strap around my neck where
it usually is. A girl friend made a funny one liner, I let out a hearty
giggle, and my kit slowly slide off my lap and did a somewhat gentle nose
dive to the deck. The lens hood took the brunt of the fall and cracked a
bit near the mounting end, but it's still very useable--though I treat it
gently now. The whole even shocked the beegeezees out of me. Glad your
camera is ok, Dave. Mine's doing just fine. Cheers, Christine

Back in March, whilst taking some night macro shots out back, the
strap on my K10D caught in my coat buttons and was pulled from my
hand. I managed to, just in time, grab part of the strap and it just
barely touched the flagstone patio.
In May, the strap managed to get its self caught on the dining room
table corner, and again i managed to grab a portion of the strap and
the camera hit the carpet floor at a slowish speed.
Sunday, whilst trying to get some Bluejay photos, i picked up the
camera and again the strap caught the lip of the patio chair flew out
of my hand and onto the flagstone patio about 2' down.
All in all, no damage to the camera that i can see, from these three
events.
Time to get rid of the flagstone me thinks.
Dave
