Just another day at the office when… what the… suddenly the camera jams and given my history with Canon bodies I just figured, well, the 5D is fried… AGAIN. But no, not just fried: the mirror had come off of it’s plate and cracked in two. Nice.
I haven’t contacted Canon yet – of course the body is out of warranty, and, again, of course, I was in the middle of nowhere when it failed so no pro replacement available. Sigh. Have a backup, of course, but I’m so tired of cameras falling apart.
Here’s the picture. More to come…
