Title: How I dropped my new Canon 5D MarkIII and wont do it again
Post by: bobkeenan on November 30, 2012, 13:12

About a couple weeks after I bought this great camera I dropped it. Oh and I also had a new Tamrom 24-70 f2.8 VC lens on it. The camera still worked but had a big ding on it.

The lens Auto focus got messed up and had to be repaired. A hood saved the glass.

How did I drop it and how I wont do it again can be found in detail on my blog here (http://"http://www.bobkeenanphoto.com/how-to-drop-a-dslr-brand-new-canon-5-d-mark-iii/").

But essentially is was operator error. I used an arca plate on the camera with no safety stops.... I have them now.

Sorry to hear

What is your verdict on the Tamron lens?
