Just Dropped my 17-40L...

I was shooting a bridal after a wedding this afternoon and dropped my UWA about 4 feet onto the concrete.
Good thing these are built like tanks.

Cheers,

Last year I was shooting at an archaeological place and I dropped my 24 TS-E 24mm II.
Immediately I put my foot and decelerated its fall a lot. It landed at a wooden floor. It had its cap.
Nothing happened not even a scratch on the plastic areas 8)

I still try to figure how on earth my 5D2's screen was damaged. Screens are inside and cannot in any way be harmed by a dropping lens (I hadn't put any finger inside).

Anyway I happened to have a Grid Screen which I hadn't used yet. So I replaced the screen and everything was as good as new

lucky. I dropped a Tilt Shift (not sure if it was the 17 or 24) but it split into 2 pieces. First claim ever - but insurance gave me $ to buy a new one.
