Hello,
Today it was high time to clean my appartment, I was cleaning the top/ceiling luxa flex thingies and bam... the tripod falls over and hits the ground.
The camera hit the ground straight against the lens. Fortunately the lens cap/cover was on it as always to prevent dust/scratches/spit etc.
Unfortunately the Canon SX50 HS Lens Cap/Cover seems to be very weak/fragile.
It broke on the first fall/hit... it was a high fall/hard hit... but still.
I decided to immediatly film it because this is a bit of a problem. The lens is now in danger of getting scratch or dirty, so getting a replacement seems a smart thing to do.
Here is the video showing how it broke/fractured. (Every time I clean my house/computer something breaks ! :( ):
So carefull with your cameras... canon'owners...
You've been now warned hopefully... this thing/lens cover is thin and fragile !
Later when I have slept I shall sent an e-mail to the supplier or perhaps first I will look around to see if these things are sold seperately !
Anybody else have any experience with replacing lens covers ?! Anybody else had one break/fail on them ?!
Holyshit.
Bye, Skybuck.
