Having finally scored a working copy of the nearly unobtainium 1 Nikkor 32mm f/1.2 portrait lens for the Nikon 1 system, I did something a little silly.
Roberts, my local camera store, had a black Nikon 1 V1 and a matching Speedlight SB-N5 in their used department and the pair was only a little over a hundred bucks. I already had the more modern Nikon 1 V2, but it was white, so it didn't match the black lens barrel of the 32mm. Gotta match, right?
Fitted with a Peak Design Leash it's a compact little package and people seem to find it non-threatening.
Alas, Huck got impatient before dinner one day a week or two ago when I was lounging on the futon and the little Nikon rig was sitting on the TV tray next to me. A loud *clunk* announced that the camera had crashed to the hardwood floor in the living room as Huck engaged in some attention-seeking behavior hoping to hurry mealtime along.
The flash and lens still work, as does the camera, but some internal connection got jarred and the rear screen on the camera no longer does. The internal electronic viewfinder still works fine, although it's a little awkward to try and scroll through various menus while squinting into the eyepiece.
Ah, well... Life goes on.
