The camera was fine, Mike. But the teleconverter was NWR (not worth repairing, I had to buy another one) and the 500mm lens had to take a trip to Canon's repair centre in Sydney. I only got it back a couple of weeks ago and it's evey bit as wonderful a lens as it was before I dropped it. Total cost, about $700, $500 of that for the new TC. I was amazed at less than $200 to repair the 500mm f/4 - I'd expected four figures. Top marks to Canon!
And no more oranges!
