I was once doing a wee bit of mountain climbing on a near vertical rock face and tried to reach out to one of the ropes on the other side. I swayed too much slipped and whacked full force straight onto the rock face with my 50 Summicron and my 68kg bulk .Lens caps was off and the plastic hood suffered major cardiac trauma while the front element had a large ugly piece of quartz rock about the size of a groundnut lodged in it. Wouldn't budge and wedged solid in the front element. I later finished off the roll of tri-x and the pics turned out just fine as far as I can tell. Had to send it back to Solms for overhaul (tuning and helicoid damage) though. Izzy (lurker) Jerry S.
