Cheers for the help, ordered this morning from a very helpful and polite chap. £14 inc delivery and VAT. Hopefully it is just a clip-in part like it seems to be. Wonder what I'll smash next. It always seems to be my newest kit :(

Awesome, thank you. Just found that contact info, but didn't know about the socket covers - can never have too many of those in the bag!! Thank for that info :)

Yeah, I figured that might be the case. I'm hoping it's not going to be an expensive part, but knowing deep down that I should probably get the vaseline out and do some yogic breathing.

Odd one, but I just dropped my SB900 and it landed on the red plastic cover on the front (technical term? The bit that covers the AF-assist illuminator) which proceeded to smash. It doesn't appear to have broken anything else with it, so I'm super pleased about that, but I'll be needing to...

Well, it's back! Seems good as new (it even has a new serial number!). Now all I need is some time away from my desk to actually use it. I originally posted when I first broke it, so it's taken an age to get done!

Hehe, I don't think so - it'd be too painful!

shhh you lot! Got an estimate for the repair today. £400. I honestly thought it'd be more so I'm pretty happy.

Compared to a D3, most things are though ;)

Yeah. It's already gone off right now so I can't get a photo, but I'll definitely report back with costs. I'm definitely going to look into some decent insurance after this. I'm mostly annoyed that I pay for insurance that I'm not getting. That and the fact that I trashed a lens I've been...

Oww, you guys aren't helping! :( I wish I'd taken a photo of it now, but as long as I didn't trash the motor or anything, it's only the mount ring that was detached, and there was nothing visibly broken on the big part of the lens. Hopefully they can just switch out the mount ring part and send...

I have contents insurance, but it's Monday and there's a slight easterly wind and a man with a green hat was playing the accordion precisely 6 hours and 37 minutes before it happened. I was told when I took the policy out that my camera stuff would be covered, even when out and about, but my...

Well, it seems that I'm not allowed nice kit. I bought a 24-70mm f2.8 last month and after a fall on a slippery path today, I now have 2. It's broken off just below the zoom ring and nothing appears to be broken on the larger piece - it's all on the small bit that was left in my camera! I've...

if only :(

I'm using a D200 with the SB800 as a slave anyway - my problem is the small focal distance isn't giving me an even spread of flash. I've found some rubber bands at work, I'll probably just attach the flash to the lens as a temporary measure and get something more suited if I get into macro :)...

congrats Pete :)
