Submerging all my Fuji gear.

Not sure if this was an accident, serious issue, or a joke.  Did you accidentally drop it in a pool?  

 

However while shooting stock and personal work in the Outer Banks at the end of March my back pack FULL of spare camera, and ALL my lenses, batteries and memory cards was "washed/carried away" by an errant wave that was retreating back into the ocean while I was shooting and not paying attention.  Luckily, my daughter who was shooting with me snagged it with her tripod as it was going by her!!!  If not, the bag would have been totally swamped by the new waves coming on shore in the early morning dawn.  What a wet, and  sand covered mess though...  Nothing as nasty as wet sticky sand.

 

Thank goodness for the cheap Amazon bag (copy of a LowePro model), and the fact I had closed all the zippers on the bag. The only item that got a bit wet was the Zeiss 12mm 2.8 as the wave smacked that particular side of the bag where the lens was sitting.  All is well though...

So I've had enough of Fuji and decided to toss all my gear in a pool... YouTube video coming soon. I will post the link when the video is complete!

First you want to throw your gear from the roof, then smash it against the wall, and now drown it?

 

It looks to me like you are seeking attention in an unhealthy way. I am afraid we cannot help you.

 

Drown your gear, if you like, but above all, find someone who can really help you. I wish you all the best!!

    • Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?
    • See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.   
    • What's the deal Fuji X Forum? I'm noticing there are seldom replies to any topics - except for advertisements posted as replies. Really lame. Anyone else noticing the only reply they receive to a question is an advert?  🤠 fotomatt in Colorado  
    • This forum sure is shit. I posted a question that I doubt will ever get answered and I've seen another one about tethering from 2020 that still remains unanswered - I guess they're not common enough questions; and now I've also found yours. Did you end up using Cascable at all? I was going to post a question about Cascable but I honestly don't think there's any point. Since your post in 2021 it looks like Cascable have improved and I desperately want it to work with my iPad but can't seem to get it to do so and their customer support is as useless as this forum.
