1) Cause when you drop them, you have reasonable assurance that nothing will spoil anyway. *phew*

I wouldn't be so sure lor. My cousin's barely 2 year old 100-400L which is severely utilized (i think he has used for less than 20 hours total up to the point it died) didn't survive a safari trip even though he didn't even drop it. He said it could have been the vibration from the vehicle traveling off-road or something. Anyway, something inside came lose or something and it didn't want to AF anymore. Luckily for him Canon actually repaired the lens for free even though it wasn't under warranty (in fact it was a grey set). Must have been embarrassed that the L lens even broke at the first place... Luckily for me all my lenses are still fine. L or otherwise. But i don't drop my lenses.  |
