You're a LOON :)
I got a new camera a few weeks ago and the kids knocked if off the table wrestling around this past weekend and broke the lense :mad:

But this week I got an unexpected check so I went ahead today and ordered a new lense to replace the one I lost and I also got the 55-200 lense I had been looking at :yahoo: I ordered them today and they shipped today fedex so they should be here soon! :getdown:

hope you enjoy the new lens and remember to put on a uv filter for protection.
and I hope your kids didn't get in to much trouble.

I think they will be afraid to get within 10 feet of it now :lol: I actually had it sitting on the coffee table and I was uploading pics to my laptop. It only feell maybe 2 feet.

Congrats!! The D40 is what I just got. Love it so far and I can't wait to get my lenses in so I can start using it again. I checked on them and they should be here Saturday :yahoo:

I think I would have called the company on that one. You pay that much money for something you don't expect it to break that easily. :shrug:

Uv filter

UV Filters will protect the front lens from scratches and dings. The 55-200mm lens will come with a hood for the front. Keep it on, it will break the fall of the lens front first into a hard object.
If you are interested here is a link to some of the pictures I have taken with my D40, They are not the greatest photos ever taken but I'm still figuring out the settings

It's much more delicate then I realized. What is a UV filter and what is its purpose? Something else for me to google :lol:

It reduces ultraviolet rays and sunglare. As far as protection, it's like a condom for lenses. Always put it on for protection.

This is why you use a filter
Seen here is the Nikon 70-200 mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Lens it sells for around $1,800 so I rented it for $37 a week. I was shooting the Demolition Derby when a car kicked up some rocks, and SMACK. I took off the Haze filter and dumped out the broken glass and put the filter back on and finished shooting the derby with no problems. I put on one of my filters till I returned it.

No, that isn't me, just someone at the right place at the right time. Also I caught the fact that the pic of the Orion Nebula was taken with the D40 but it was attached to my telescope without a lens (the main reason I wanted a DSLR)

I would be fit to be tied if my 1800.00 lense broke like that!! :faint:

I know it was the filter that got it instead, but DAYUM!!!

You guys are making me scared to even take this camera out of the box when it gets here! :lmao:
