What's the stupidest way you destroyed your (or someone else's :DDD) gear?
>>4391634I haven't broken any cameras, only repaired them. Most ILC cameras from any brand would take a retard to break.
prolly when i tried washing the sticky shutter on my x-t2 under the tap thinking it would be fineit was not fine (fixed it tho)
>>4391634Card door felt loose so I opened it in the dark and felt around. Snapped off a tiny bit of plastic that acted to close the bottom half of the door using tension. Ended up gluing it back on with a couple slivers of cut paper clip as backing material to hold it together. Works better than new now.
>>4391634Bought a point and shoot snapshitter to fool with. Put some batteries in it. Turned it on. Lens extended fine. Snapped a few test pics at my desk. Everything worked good. With camera turned on I walked over to the nearby window to try the telephoto. Dropped the camera opening the blinds. It landed cockeyed on the extended lens ruining it.
>>4391634my cameras have thus far survived my foolishness
>>4391634By updating the firmware
I remember being on a first date with a Chinese university student and she let me use her silver Fuji (maybe it was a x100 I don't know)Date was going fine until I tripped on the door walking out of an atm booth and dropped her camera on the concrete floor. The front lens element and front half of the camera was totally smashed to shit.I offered to pay for it to be fixed (I had no money lol) but she said it was fine. Still went on to bang her later and the sex was great
>>4391708Skill issueEveryone with a computer already knows not to update for at least a few weeks
>>4391719Ive updated plenty of devices over the decades and never had a firmware update kill a device
>>4391719>don't update straight away once your device is out of warrantyftfy
>>4391709Was she rich? I would have been cheesed lol.
I peed on my fuji and broke it
>>4391768>i have never owned an apple product>-4channerYeah people only buy those for group texts with their friendsSony cameras are similar. People buy them because theyre compact and not in the way or ugly when hanging with friends. Magic autofocus lets you shoot kino one handed - and drunk. Loner aspie mutants can just use DSLRs.
>>4391634Back in 2009 or 2010 I put my courier style camera bag with my 5D mark ii and a 70-200 2.8 in it, on the arm chair in my living room. My girlfriends fat bitch friend came over later and plopped her ham planet self on top of it snapping the mount from the body and the back section off the lens also ripping out the ribbon cables. Somehow it was my fault.Posted about it here for the first time back in 2011 I think. I wonder if there are any old fags that remember that similar thread.
>>4392070Did you forget to take your meds?
>>4391634I wanted to clean my sensor and spilled the stuff all over it. Afterwards my friend came over and tried to clean it with a lens cleaner. All in all, he fucked my sensor's filter, so all I can take are pictures of stuff in fog.
>>4392305do you still have photos?what a fucking animalI fucked up my Nikon FM2's curtains by simply using it's own motordrivesomething was probably a bit misaligned already, but then the motordrive went and did its thing by forcing anything in its wayworked out fine for the first 5 times I pressed the button for testingon the 6th one I heard the titanium curtain get fucked upwas able to get it substituted for another original piece but shit was expensiveI've never used the motordrive againI should sell the little fucker
>>4391921>Was she rich? I would have been cheesed lol.If you're chinese and want permission to study overseas you need to be connected. So either very rich parents or mildly rich but important parents.
from my time working at a place that took in repairs, 1 customer had gear backpack on counter, and picked it up without zipping, and everything came tumbling outprobably 70% of repairs were dropping / banging against something, 20% water, 10% otherfrom myself, I've had two cameras rip from being pointed at the sun long enough, both ended up being repaired by manufacturer free of charge
I once accidentally left my camera bag on top of my car before I got onto the highway. I know I wanted a new telephoto lens anyway, but that's not quite what I had in mind.
