" IT STILL WORKS!" A few scratches and dings here and there happen when one is shooting almost everyday on an assignment or project as it goes with the territory. It isn't that we don't take care of our gear, we do. They are our lifeline to our income survival, so we do. Broken cameras due to careless handling means no bread on the table next week pay day. When one is working with 3 or 4 cameras hanging off their body, neck or shoulders, sometimes a scratch or mark occurs without you knowing it's happened. No big deal. That is until you fall or slip and one of them leaves you with black eyes and or a couple of front teeth knocked out with a smack in the mouth. Bruises and missing teeth doesn't make one a pretty site! :-) Important part? "THEY STILL WORK!" :-) And that's all that matters! ted
