Two drops so far, both due to evil gremlins...My !DMKIIn detached (somehow) from my 300F2.8 and hit the cement side walk about 6 ft drop No damage! didn\'t even leave a mark on the body.
the other was my 70-200 f 2.8 dropped from about 4 ft (gremlins knocked it out of my hands while dragging it out of my car) broke the UV filter & made it a real pain to get off the lens, took about 2 hrs to carefully remove the broken glass so as not to scratch the front element...now the only filters I put on the lens are polorizing or ND filters...Lucky me though no damage to either piece...just keep my head ona swivel to watch for those gremlins...
