Circular polarizer, ‘deconstructed’…

Deconstructed as in I dropped my camera on the kitchen floor and the filter came completely apart. But the filter did its primary job: it gave its life for the lens. The lens seems okay.

I've become lax about how I grab the dSLR off a table or counter. Thumb on the LCD panel and then grasping the built-in flash with my fingers. I should always one-hand the camera by the lens barrel, although this may have happened anyway: the strap caught on the corner of the counter and down went the camera.

Oh, today I reached 20 million [indoor] meters on rowing machines. My first recorded row was early January, 2007…

Once, my camera flew out of my backpack I thought was zipped up. Grabbed replacement camera by the body, but strap caught on a knob...to the floor it went. At least that one was repairable. Ugh.

Oh no! the lens made it but did your camera? And Happy Belated Birthday, btw.

Yikes! Glad you had filters!!
