Hmmm, have you lost some gear due to accident, Jim? ...
What makes you say that ?
Here's an accounting, starting in about 1974.
Broken by me: 8 lenses & 1 camera, incl. EF 35/1.4L, EF 70-200/2.8L IS (both repaired), and new 1.4x III (replaced)
Water damage: 1 lens and 1 Canon 5D (repaired, OK for a year or so, then into garbage)
Fungus:
- cleaned, 6 lenses, incl. Fuji GS645S Wide 60
- garbage, 5 lenses,
- returned, 3 lenses, incl. -R Apo-Telyt 180/3.4
Left behind/stolen: 4 cameras (2 in 1970's and 2 this year), plus one attempted hoist of 6D + 24-105L IS in Madrid subway, foiled by yours truly.
Returned for scratched glass, not done by me: 3 lenses, incl. M645 A 300/2.8 APO scratched on inner element during service (after 6 mo. negotiation, repair shop "bought" it from me for Lens$db value).
