Well,
Today I decided to head out and take some pictures as I am getting ready for the return of the VC head I am sending out. Well it goes out in a few hours so I am just anticipating the return. Anyway, there I was in the middle of a river just taking in the sites. Took my shots and headed back to the car. Feet frozen or would have stayed longer.
Set my tripod against near the car and was getting ready to pack my camera so I could move on. And what you know the tripod slipped on ICE and went over. I grabbed it but the 4x5 body now has a nice chuck taken out of the side! It hit some tree limbs, which stopped it from hitting the ground. The lens is fine but I am really worried about the bellows. I cannot see any physical damage except for the chunk missing and a few scratches on the body. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Are the bellows pretty strong?
Well at least the camera is now considered broken in and maybe I look like a real photographer now! LOL!
