Wednesday was not a very good day for me. In fact I had a melt down.
I put my d50 on tripod out on the back deck as I usually do for the last 5 years, when I get home from the office. Came back into the house to feed the dog and I hear a loud crash. I run outside find my camera in pieces and the tamron 200-500 lens broke away and was laying on its own. Saw the tail of my neighbor's dog running from the yard. I had enough sense to know it was time for new camera and I ordered the d90 which was delivered today. My biggest fear was that the tamron lens did not survive the 5' drop on to the wooden deck. No parts were heard when I gave it a gentle shake but wouldn't know until I actually got it on a camera. Bottom line - when I got home today and put the lens on the camera the lens is fine. Phew! A solidly built piece of camera equipment. Learning the d90 a whole other story
