Yikes! David!
Hope you will be okay and that the lens survived. Tuck Tape for the hood - my
200 - 500 Zoom lens hood is bound with the tape. Looks very professional.

Subject: [LRflex] Expensive Photos
The road out to Tunkwa Lake has been closed for many weeks, first by the Dumont
Creek Fire, which forced the evacuation of the Tunkwa Lake area and then by the
Tremont Creek Fire, which forced the evacuation of both Tunkwa (again!) and
Logan Lake.
I was walking back to the car after this last shot, simply climbing up the side
of a ditch to the road, when the ground gave way, I took a tumble and my
Olympus, with 100-400 Leica lens attached, hit the pavement with considerable
force. The camera is badly scuffed (I am too, a bit) but so far, the only
visible damage on the lens is a bent lens hood. I'll have to do some testing
to see if there is any hidden damage. It there is, these will be very
expensive photos!
More as events warrant. Film at Eleven.
David.
