On Sunday I dropped my E-M1ii with ZD 12-60 onto a paved parking lot
down in Homer. Ugh. At first glance, it looked like everything was
fine, except for the lens cap deciding to do a marathon tour rolling
under no less than 8 cars and stopping under the center of a Toyota
Prius. Because, of course it would.
Anyway, it looked like it was fine, and I dodged a bullet. However,
later on, I was trying to take a picture of something Moosish for our
own Moosie, when it wouldn't focus right. Uh oh.
Having tested the lens on my legacy E-bodies, the lens does seem to be
fine. The E-M1ii also appears to be fine if I used m43 lenses.
The MMF-3 is bent. Oh no. Fortunately, it's JUST an adaptor.
Inexpensive. I'll just pick up another.
HOLY COW! Those things are EXPENSIVE!!!! The MMF-3 is easily the most
expensive single item for my entire Olympus kit right now. I think I'm
going to see if I can repair it first and then go from there.
Regardless, Homer was still awesome even with the destruction of
Olympus equipment.
