    Kids, always remember to put your camera, lenses, and accessories in the proper protective cases.

    And that's one to grow on!

    Ok, looks like this is the argument for saving my pennies to get one of the obseenly expensive $400+ camera bags!

    Hey, save the filter. It could make for some interestingly artsy fartsy photos. Never know, could be a happy accident.

    sounds painful but i'd love to see any images you produced with cracked lens if any.

    and that paris trip sounds especially nice-in my book, that would make up for cracked lens anytime!

    if you rotate it about 180 degrees, you can sell it on ebay as the official lens of the movie 'v for vendetta'

    I do this about once a month... although I usually only manage to destroy the filter....
