Alas I don't think I have the reciept or the warranty card lol (for the camera or the fiance)! You know how you never use the things you keep for years and then its the things that you throw out sure that you would never need that later come back to haunt you

But anyway camera was outwith warranty period Not sure about fiance but don't think her family will accept her for refund. They said something about "You broke it, you keep her"

But in all seriousness I was hill walking with my fiance on the Arete between Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis and she slipped and fell around 50 meters. She broke both her ankles which required surgery (plate and pins in one and just pins in the other) and had lots of cuts and some really fun looking bruises to boot. But she is alive ! Same cannot be said of my old trusty K10D though

Extract from the autopsy: Both camera and lens have suffered serious impact damage which has rendered equipment beyond economic and satisfactory repair. A J Johnstone & Co Ltd

18-55WR was attatched at the time ... but the damage was more likley caused by the 50 meter fall or the fact my fiance was attached to the camera bag, not sure:

It died

When i went into Jessops and held the K10D and compared it to the (admittedly £100-150 cheaper nikon) which felt like plastic and would blow away with the wind

I really can't tell whats wrong with it. Every single lens just wont stay on!

Any ideas?

Is that one of the other models of the Toploader without the Pro in the name? I don't think there is a 55 for the pro versions though I could be wrong. Thanks for the info though the width of the hood is exactly the problem I was worried about but think maybe the different version may have more room hopefully

Coming to think about it the Lowepro Toploader Pro 70 AW may give me more room to expand my kit in the future and allow for a pancake lens or similar to be stored beneath the camera body.

Got new lens and grip and now my equipment wont fit in my Lowepro Rezo 120 AW

I was wondering if anyone uses the Lowepro Toploader Pro 65 AW and can tell me if the 16-50 fits all right? I have measured the camera and compared it to the spec (which seems fine). Im just thinking if the lens hood might be abit big for the narrower bottom of the case ?

Hoping to add a lens pouch to the side that would contain a couple of primes, etc (if there isnt enough space in the bag for them).

I think i will try to find a location that sells these in Glasgow at the weekend to try it out and see how it feels. Calumet or Merchant City Cameras should have something to fit the bill anyway
