THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD!!! I JUST DROPPED MY CAMERA AND NOW MY WIDE-ANGLE LENS IS BROKEN.[More:]

THE GODDAMN FOCUSING RING DOESN'T MOVE SHIT INSIDE THE LENS. I GOT IT FOR REALLY CHEAP OFF OF CRAIGSLIST, AND TO REPLACE IT WILL BE VERY UN-CHEAP AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY ESPECIALLY WITH A TRIP TO NEW JERSEY AND PHILLY IN 10 DAYS, A TRIP DURING WHICH I REALLY WANTED TO USE THIS LENS.

*CRIES*
bugger.

Sorry:

BUGGER!!!!!

FUCK!
I DID THE SAME EXACT THING TO MY NIKON (JUST THE LENS) AND MY DAD FIXED IT SORTA BUT IT STILL GOT STUCK WHEN CHANGING THE ZOOM.
Y'KNOW WHAT I DID THOUGH?
A TRULY AWFUL PERSON I KNOW INCIDENTALLY HAD THE SAME CAMERA/LENS.
SHE NEVER NOTICED SO IT'S ALL GOOD I GUESS.
BUT THEN AGAIN THAT MAKES ME A PRETTY TERRIBLE PERSON BUT I DON'T FEEL A DAMN BIT OF GUILT.

I WISH I WAS COMPETENT ENOUGH TO LUST AFTER CAMERAS LIKE THAT. I CAN TAKE A DECENT PICTURE BUT DAMNED IF I CAN TELL AN FSTOP FROM A FOCUS OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU DO WITH FANCY CAMERAS!

WHEN I WAS IN RUSSIA LAST SPRING, I BOUGHT A 200 mm TELEPHOTO LENS OFF AN OLD MAN ON THE STREET. HE SWORE THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MORE THAN 20 YEARS OLD, IT WAS "GOOD AS NEW" AND HAD NEVER BEEN USED. THE OPTICAL BITS WERE IN PERFECT SHAPE, SO I BELIEVED HIM. THE NEXT DAY, THE AUTOMATIC/MANUAL APERTURE SETTING RING BROKE. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, MY FATHER TOOK THE LENS APART AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. HE SAID SOMEONE HAD ALREADY TRIED TO OPEN IT (UNSUCCESSFULLY). MEANING THAT THE OLD RUSSIAN MAN HAD CHEATED ME. I'M NOT REALLY COMPLAINING, THOUGH, SINCE I GOT A GREAT LENS FOR CHEAP.

ARRRGH, YES rhapsodie I ENTIRELY FEEL YOUR PAIN. I DROPPED MY AWESOME SPENDY NIKON SPEEDLIGHT LAST SUMMER ON THE DENVER CRUISE AND NOW IT REFUSES TO TURN ON. NOTHING SEEMS DAMAGED, IT'S JUST DEAD. I'M TOO DEPRESSED ABOUT ALL THE $$ I SPENT ON IT TO EVEN GO TAKE IT TO THE CAMERA SHOP TO SEE IF IT CAN BE FIXED MUCH LESS HOW EXPENSIVE THAT WILL BE. SO IT JUST SITS THERE IN THE CAMERA BAG LIKE A THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR PAPERWEIGHT, SILENTLY ACCUSING ME OF BEING A MORON.

AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OF KEEPING MY HANDS ON MY IPHONE, I'VE DROPPED IT TWICE THIS WEEK. ONCE ONTO A CONCRETE STAIRCASE WHERE IT DID A POOR SLINKY IMPRESSION.

PHONE STILL WORKS LIKE A CHAMP AND BOTH SPILLS WERE ON THE BACK AND NOT THE GLASS (WHICH I SOMEHOW GOT SCRATCHES IN LAST YEAR IN COSTA RICA). AT THIS POINT IT WON'T LAST UNTIL THE NEW VERSION COMES OUT.

DAMMIT! I JUST SPILLED MY WATER ALL OVER MY CELL PHONE AND ALL OVER THE PAPERS ON MY DESK AND NOW THEY ARE ALL SOGGY AND WRINKLY!

AND I WAS ALL HORMONAL AND SAD ABOUT STUPID THINGS ON MY COMMUTE THIS MORNING AND I ALMOST CRIED ON THE SUBWAY WHICH IS SO DUMB!

HOW LONG IS THIS DAY, ANYWAY? WHERE IS MY VODKA!?!

I HURT MY BACK ON TUESDAY AND IT REALLY HURTS. IT TOOK ME 7 MINUTES TO GET OFF THE COUCH LAST NIGHT AND DAMMIT IF THE AMERICAN IDOL FINALE WASN'T TWO HOURS LONG, OF WHICH 90 MINUTES WAS TOTALLY USELESS BECAUSE THEY ONLY SEEMED TO SHOWCASE BANDS WHO HAVEN'T HAD A HIT SINCE 1992! NOW I HAVE THAT OLD LADY SMELL BECAUSE I HAD TO GO BUY BEN GAY THIS MORNING TO QUELL THE PAIN. I DON'T LIKE SMELLING LIKE OLD LADIES.
