... who quickly spotted a piece of the camera lens next to a truck parked in his driveway. ...

guess not.

I'm going out now. Wearing my hard hat. There's no plane in sight so a lens might drop any moment now.

😛

Lecias perform better in such drop tests. http://nemeng.com/leica/023e.shtml

I would say the lens is "minty" ;-)

Looks like somebody is changing his system... the hard way 😀

One day Leica and Canon L lenses will fall from the sky into my home. Would I risk getting killed by one? Mayyyybeeeeee...

$4500 to fix a hole in an overhang?

To do that much damage either it was launched into space by the mythbusters or it came from a clumsy photographer who luckily strapped himself in but forgot to leave his butter fingers at home.

This is an unusual occurrence—even proving this came from an aircraft could be difficult,” he said.

I guess it could have been fired from a Canon (pun intented)🙂

I guess they'll turn it into a coffee cup now.

Well, the competition has it, so what can you do...?

 

[Frank Petronio]

You can bet there will be a "pain and suffering" suit coming as soon as they figure out who it is.

I'm all for keeping it a secret myself.

 

[Jack Conrad]

Ha!

They're trying to take away our lenses.
They start out hating on the big 9 inch combat lenses like Canon, but then slowly go for the small concealed carry lenses like Leica.

Just remember... Lenses don't kill. People do.

that's a funny product...
I guess the only thing you can serve in a summicron 35 is a very short expresso...

A good-quality UV filter would have provided additional protection.

I guess the aliens werent happy with their eBay purchase: Not "Minty" as described: return to sender with their regards.
