My TT (Photowalk Session) at Ipoh is almost near perfection if I didn't lost my Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens. I have no idea how it got missing? Could it dropped some where when I walked around, or could I leave it some place and forgotten to pick it up? The worst, could it be taken by someone? (Bless you if you really did that!!)
Nevertheless, only when lost something or someone that important in life, then we realize many things we have taken for granted.
I should have bought good cameras bag with compartmentalize design which gives better storage space for my lenses, it eliminates the opportunity of dropping out accidentally. But because I wanted to save cost, I ended up losing more……
I should have checked my lenses each time I took it out, but many a time, I took for granted and assuming it always be there for me …
If I have been more diligent in my properties, I would have eliminated the possibility of losing it …
What good is it to think . . . .
"If I …" or "I should have ...."
Someone did say this (or I am the one who say) . . . .
"If the old doesn't go, the new will never comes!!"
Walau-er !! I want to knock whoever said that …. the problem is my lens is brand new which is less than 6 months and if you know lenses, you would know how much it cost !!!
Anyway what good is it to say more?

Last thing that I can do it to write a goodbye letter to my lost (be loved) lens

"Dear Pany Lens …
You departed me sooner than expected. I know everything in this world is perishable in time, but you are leaving me too soon. Yes! is damned too soon ….. Well, no point grieving about it, time to put down, time to forget, time to let you go and let my mind rest in peace. You are good companion and the only regret is that I did not use you often and did not even use you in my Ipoh TT … what a mistake I had done for letting you alone … (you protested is it by MIA from me!? Goash!! )

Well, you have served your purpose by bringing me many nice photos though it was a short time …. I truly missed the Bokeh that you bring me, Things becoming so attractive and beautiful through your body … I missed you .....
Lastly, I just want to say thank you.
Regards, your owner"

Yap, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your new lens. If it makes you feel any better, I experienced a similar but sligthly different scenario almost 3 years ago. If you have the time do read my blog entry on that: http://robinwong.blogspot.com/2008/08/ollie-no-more.html
ReplyDeleteIt was very difficult for me, because it took me quite long to save up for the E-410, which was only 3 months old that time, and the newly purchased 25mm F2.8 pancake.
Let us all be more alert when we are out shooting, and watch each other's back. I have a habit of reminding people if they have checked everything (lenses, wallet, keys, anything important) since that incident.
Stay strong, I am sure everything happened for a reason. Only time will teach us.
Thank you Robin...
ReplyDeleteYes, it was painful experience. It gave better lesson for not take thing for granted.
Thank you for your encouragement.
