Aug 23, D2x test

OK, a friend and I have a debate going.

He says the camera body would fail first.
I think the lens 85mm Nikkor would.

Any opinions?

Any thoughts on how I'd file this with State Farm?

The camera mount bayonet would certainly be first to crush... then the front elements but only after the rear of the lens goes through the sensor... I am cheating of course, since I know all too well the stress points and where they would fail... I do this sort of testing at my day job :-)

Basically the lens is much better built to withstand the crushing force. First to give is the hollow center of the camera for sure.

There would be damage to the lens but not until the camera is well crushed LOL

I won't even ask for this one or the D2h....do you have an old D70 lying around?

The LCD went first....

I think I'll have another martini and go out and give it another turn.

Send me that one and I'll give you my old N70 to test.

Frankly, not been a Canon camera, then it does not make a difference. GO AHEAD!
Actually, that would be a good excuse for you to get yourself a Canon. LOL...(No, seriously!)

My opinion is that you should send me the camera and lens.
I have much more sophisticated equipment to test it with.
Just leave it to me and I will file a complete report when all
the testing is done and the data is crunched!
My address is...........
