That's a great story. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I fly with my Giottos Rocket! I was thinking of upgrading to this blower though as it may be easier on sensors.

Also, I learned you are an architect today! With an impressive body of work as well, and in very tough fields like detention centres. Those and court houses have to be some of the toughest buildings to design. Kudos.

Funny story...but you performed a quadruple amputation on your unsuspecting Giottos. How cruel of you! LOL!

'twas just about then I discovered my film had slipped off the takeup spool, not a single shot exposed.........

If I had a dollar for every time that happened with my AE-1... I might be able to afford some good glass.

Ouch. I think we have all, at one time or another, briefly considered buying one of those.

Why the regret? Is it that bad?

OK, this is not an accessory but for me "Release Shutter Without Card" is a useless feature, which I never use but can get into trouble real easy ...

Film days, 1975 - I had my beloved Nikon F2 (cost me 1.5 months pay) and was hiking on the south end of Guam. A trail runs along the crest of the hills providing great views of two postcard perfect bays, a lake in the interior and in general just gorgeous scenery while the ceaseless tradewinds temper the heat and humidity. I followed a trail that went across to the east side of the island, met a group of boys enjoying the day at a shallow stream with a couple of carabao. Rode with them through a bamboo forest until we reached the outskirts of the village where they lived. Realizing I had miles to go to return to my car still on the east side, I resigned myself to a very long trek back. About that time a pair of Navy Seabees tooling around the boonies in a jeep came by and gave me a lift around the south end of the island back towards where my car was. We stopped at the ruins of an old Spanish fort overlooking Umatac Bay around sunset, all of us happily snapping away. 'twas just about then I discovered my film had slipped off the takeup spool, not a single shot exposed.........

That's too bad. Fortunately however (at least in my experience), photography opens our eyes to the world around us and amplifies the visual experience. I bet your memories of that day would have been less vivid had you not observed your surroundings with the photographer's eye. At least the 'film' in your mind was properly exposed that day

One more generically useless one - a camera bag too small for your gear. I gave mine away to friends and family, but I had at least 5 or 6 bags that were perfect for a Rebel + lens(es) but wouldn't hold a 5DII + L lenses. It happened again when I went from the 70-200 f/4 IS to the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II - now I've obsoleted at least 2 more bags!

Those 'legs/fins' are useless marketing ploys anyway, making it look like a rocket is not a plus in any way, IMHO. I've got two blowers that don't come with these silly fins, they're great. I've got a VisibleDust Hurricane Blower, but the Camgloss Tornado is something excellent.

So, I'm not the first one

I tried to find some bag to cary 6D in (on the next day after its purchase) and got this 'Canon 300EG' bag. It's price was less than $30 and the shop I get it from did not have a cheap Lowepro top-loader I came for.

After few attempts to fit in it 6D + one or two lenses and have a walk around after... I think that I need another more convenient bag. (This 300EG will not be totally useless and will find its usage in a closet as a bag to keep few bag-less lenses)

You shouldn't have done that!

With your blower intact, you would be able to test the IQ of other TSA agents ... ;D ;D ;D

Stops it from rolling off the table when cleaning lenses. Also for storage on a shelf it stands by itself, smaller footprint.

Ha, Ha, Ha Dear tron.
I never spray any thing at my eyes ( Except Visine Eyes drop?medicine ), For my self as the old age citizen, My eyes are more important than another part of my body.
I just Blow the cool air to my cheek to calm me down.
Well, That are impossible ( you would be able to test the IQ of other TSA agents ... ;D ;D ;D ), to dissagree with the Man , who have big hand gun at his belt = He is the Boss.
Nice to laugh with you.
Have a great night

So, I'm not the first one

I'm not sure if I should say "Welcome to the club" or "may I please join your club" ;D ... I have countless camera bags, every time I see a new camera bag I get serious GAS ... because they are not very expensive, I tend to buy them quite often, only to dislike them later on and give it away free when I sell my camera gear.
I recently saw a youtube video, where the presenter says that "Photography is a more enduring and expensive addiction than drug and alcohol addiction, because photographers tend to outlive the boozards and the druggies" ;D

Good point ... I didn't think of that.

It's a small plus I agree, but not one I've run into a need of. The bellow is ribbed lengthwise by the way, that also stops it from rolling away. Anyway, thanks for clarifying.
