And by 'murdered', you mean 'left them on a sacred hill in a near-death state for vultures to finish them off', right?

Does he even know how much the cheaper MF digital bodies cost?

Once I was taking sum shots under the rain. Trued to wipe lens with fur cloth. Lens got full of hair.

Once I was taking shots from train window which had the frame sliding from above to close it. Eventually it did slide down. Dat magnesium chasis.

>>1444447
it is from the DigitalRev's comments

I'm so familiar with that feeling that my friends have talked to be about how weird it is I usually have a camera with me and yet they almost never see photos I've taken.

SO I DON'T DUMP EVERYTHING I SHOOT TO FACEBOOK/FLICKR. SO WHAT? I'M NOT A GIRL. :[

I'll be in Pittsburgh tomorrow, maybe I'll find your lenses washed up on the shore.

I don't believe your camera is capable of breaking from just some girl falling on top of it, unless she happened to fall down 6 flights of stairs and land in a pool.

My macro lens is made of shaky plastic and I got dust between some of its elements and now a black dot sometimes appears on my pictures.

Also the lens itself has terrible cromabs but I got it for $210 less than what it retails for.
