The one time I dropped my camera in 1981, it was an OM-1, MD1, 18V Grip,
and 75-150 zoom 4 feet onto a brick walk. The body took the brunt of the
fall and it cracked the mirror box. I sold it as-is. Camtech in Atlanta
told me it would cost as much to replace the mirror box as buy a new
camera, so I bought a new one.
