Well I went home this past weekend for Easter. Home for me is Sammamish, Washington about 30 minutes form Seattle. I brought a friend from southern California with me cause he had nowhere to go for Easter. It was a great weekend. I love spending time with my family and going to my home church for Easter.
Well unfortunately while I was home and at church actually, my entire camera bag fell and slammed into the ground. From about 5 feet in the air. Fortunately my camera itself survived. But the lens was not so fortunate. The filter I had to protect my lens shattered (so I guess it served it's purpose) but the aperture blades were thrown all out of whack and you can now see them when you look through the lens. While many of you have no idea what I'm talking about. the picture shows what you see when you look through the lens. Simply put, those triangular shaped pieces should not be there and you should be able to look through the lens without obstruction.
This being said, I cannot use that lens at the moment. Fortunately I have the kit lens that came with my camera to fall back on but it is not nearly as good as the broken one. I shall work on getting my lens fixed, or look into buying a new one. In case anyone is looking for a good photo site to buy gear off of that has a good reputation and decent prices, try this website that me and some of my photographer friends use.
So from now on my photos will be coming from a subpar lens until I get my old lens fixed!
