Nikon 70-200 2.8 .... Saying goodbye

[Jeremy Igo]

I have had you for 10 years. You were with me through good times and bad. You helped me capture Cam Newton's touchdown flip. You helped me capture Jimmy Clausen awkwardly running as he threw to the sidelines. 

But it appears the time has come for me to replace you. You started falling apart a couple years ago and I tried to ignore it. That is how much I loved you.  Your parts just did not move like they used to, yet I still wanted to make it work. 

But yesterday, when I tried to warm you up, you were not having it. You just laid there like a cold fish. 

So.... I must replace you. 

 

 

Let this be a lesson to the rest of the Huddle camera bag.

RIP Lens. Seymour Parrish will now turn you into a coffee mug.

Goodbye, PS3

What's wrong with it? Is it the autofocus, or the VR? You might be able to have a component or 2 changed out....

But I'm sorry for your loss

If the BOSS is willing to discard his lens which he loves after so much service, imagine what he'll do to us who he barely tolerates.

Will it be getting its own statue?

No, it will play an integral role in my upcoming darth vader porno production.

It seems to me, you lived your life...like a candle in the wind....
