    Unhappy I think I killed a lens.

    I was hoping it was okay buuuuuuuuut thinking not.

    Got home from Montana and out of the car forgetting the bag was open and my 75-300 landed on the concrete smashing the Uv filter into a bazillion pieces. Now when I am adjusting the focal length it sounds like there is sand inside the lens. I think there may be some optic damage although the glass is fine, it definitely sounds like the inside is not.
    Thank Gawd it was not a massively expensive lens (and my least favorite because it takes forever to lock onto anything in AF) but costly lesson to check the stupid bag each time I move it.
