Book results and a slight disaster

Something BAD has happened to our camera. Our beloved, now fairly elderly, Nikon D70. It lives in a safely padded bag in a cabinet drawer when it's not being used, and is pulled out and put away many times each week. Last week I pulled it out to find that some had put it away minus the bag, but I just tutted quietly, stowed it safely and moved on with the day. Unfortunately the next time I came to use it, it turns out that while it was unprotected, the lens edge has been badly cracked and the poor thing can't autofocus any more. I rather suspect small hands closed the drawer too vigorously on it. We just hope it can be repaired ...

Anyway, in the absence of any actual photos, here's a screenshot of the results of the Pass the Book giveaway:


By my reckoning, Miss Read will be winging her way to Rhiannon - I'll be in touch!

  2. Ouch, I'm sorry about your camera. I'm rather lucky in that the Nikon repair center is only about 30 mins drive from here. When my battery charger died, they gave me a new one without even wanting to see a receipt.

  3. Oh, no... so sorry about your camera! :o( And more's the pity as it is often more costly to repair a camera than to buy a new one, depending on what can be done/fixed. Do hope it is fixable--and not for too much. Congrats to Rhiannon though... :o) Happy Weekend ((HUGS))

  16. Oh no, your poor camera. Hopefully you can get it to someone who can fix it - I suppose a new lens is too easy a solution? x
