 Ain’t That Nifty Anymore

I thought my Canon EF 50mm 1.8 II (a.k.a. Nifty Fifty) was impervious to pain and mishandling. I thought wrong.

I had just been to a rough adventure and upon inspection, my bag (the Tamrac Adventure 9) was holding up pretty good. The lower camera compartment contained my DSLR while I crammed my film SLR into the unpadded top. I would hastily pack my film SLR with the fifty attached into the top compartment whenever we needed to “go.”

Upon reaching our hotel room, I opened my bag and discovered that my beloved prime had decided to come apart. I tried putting them back together but I just couldn’t find the right groove. Oh well.

Maybe this is my cue to get the Canon EF 50mm 1.4 !
