Broken Filter

Picture above is a picture of my cracked UV filter, which has made me realized another function of the filter.

This is the story,

Last Saturday, I was photographing in Central Park Mall, Jakarta, Indonesia.

I need a wide lens, so I took off my macro lens from my camera, and put it in my bag. At that time, my bag was full, so I couldn’t zip my bag. Because I thought my lens was safe enough, I continued photographing. Since I was too busy for photographing, I forgot that my macro lens was in a less secure position….

Because of my movements, my lens rolled out from my bag. I was shocked absurdly. I tried to keep calm and I did it. All my friends were panic. Calmly, I picked up my lens and shook it to make sure there is no damaged part. There was no strange sound, and I was a little bit calmer. But when I opened my lens cap, I was shocked more absurdly. My filter broke!!! But I could keep calm at that moment. My friends were more panic. I opened the filter to make sure that the lens was alright. Luckily, my lens was alright. My filter was broke, but my lens was alright. I still can use my lens now. the conclusion is:

My Filter Saved My Lens

I can’t imagine what would happen if my filter not attached in my lens. I’m glad this incident happened to my life. So I could tell you that your lens needs the filter. So if this incident happened to you, your filter could save your lens as my filter did to my lens.
