As the case flung to earth the lid flew open and catapulted my lenses across the studio and the rough floor took its toll (a 24-70 2.8 workhorse and my sigma 70-200 2.8 zoom back up) The inevitable noise that followed was distressing enough, if you want to imagine further distress please look below at the pictures. It’s a strange feeling when you break a lens like this, I have had both of these lenses over 10 years now and they have been almost everywhere I have been, the 24-70 has been used every day for almost 12 years and never needed a service – it was a true workhorse. The memories I have have all been taken with these lenses. They’ve seen some serious use over the years and I am hoping I can get them both repaired and back to work, here’s hoping the internal damage is minimal. Sadly as this has happened on a Friday means I can’t get to a hire shop before I fly out to LA so I have now had to fork out for the new 24-70 2.8, so it’s been an expensive and challenging day!
