APOLLO 12 Camera Failure

During the first Apollo 12 Moonwalk, Alan Bean was moving the camera from the side of the LM to the tripod. During the movement of the camera he accidentally pointed it into the sun, burning out the pickup tube. This was the last TV from the surface on Apollo 12.

Camera failure

It's taking a long long time to get through the Eden Festival photographs.  One reason is that I just haven't had a minute to do it, the main reason is one of several catastrophic design flaws in the camera I used which has meant that I've effectively lost about half of my pictures, so rather than being interesting as it usually is, the post-production process is actually depressing.  I didn't use my own camera for the festival, it has only just been repaired, instead I borrowed one.  The least interesting thing a photographer can do is talk about camera equipment my apologies, but I do want to say that a newly released camera body that costs £2500 should not repeatedly do what it did to me when I put it to the test last weekend.  I'll also say that one of the lenses I used is just awful in pretty much every way, and as a professional lens at £750 that's the last thing it should be.

Coming home with what should be gold and finding dirt- is a horrible feeling especially after such a great festival.

Those two pieces of equipment that I consider epic failures are the Canon 5d Mk3 and the L-series 24-105mm USM IS.
