Testing my Patience

My 50mm lens busted for the first time last month. We sent it in for repair immediately and when it came back, it had a tiny black artifact in between the inside of the glass. I decided to try the lens out anyway at our friend’s engagement party JUST to see if that black spot would be noticeable in the pictures. I took about 3 pictures before the front of the lens zipped itself right off while auto-focusing. We sent it back in a second time. Today, I got the lens back for a second time. I took the lens out of the secure double wrapping, took the lens cap off to look at the glass, held it up to the light so I could make sure the black artifact was gone, and BAM. The front of the lens came right off and smacked me in the mouth.

So we’ll be sending this lens back in for a THIRD time.

I haven’t been feeling well the past few days and it’s made me a little cranky. I was really looking forward to this lens finally getting fixed. Getting assaulted by my lens has not helped my mood.

The Canon repair team is really testing my patience.
