    Oh bother ( or words to that affect)

    Just got my 700d back from repair, out yesterday in the first bit of sunshine for a while trying to get some shots of Bullfinches, slipped on the ice. Bruised backside, cracked camera case. I blame it all on conversation below about insurance. My claim is in just awaiting a reply.

        Colin, I wish. Jeff, as FAR as I know the Sigma has escaped damage but the camera is a write off. Shall never look at Bullfinches the same again.

          I would ask for the lens to be checked to ensure its not knocked an element out etc, I do aircraft crash repair and you would be surprised how many instruments pack up after the accident because of unseen damage to bearings etc, so we mention them on the claim.

          I hope you are OK, that's the main thing, BTW there is a used 5DSR on Amazon for £49,995.01p if you fancy an upgrade LOL

            I nearly went for that, but when I phoned up they only had the one and I wanted a matched pair!

              Just tried to take the memory card out & it is melted into the casing, must have got a bit hot in there.
