Good as new. I walk back out for the next game, 30 seconds into the game my lens takes a direct hit from a ball that was easily traveling 290 fps( 280 fps= about 195 mph).
all those white spots are paint residue from the paint being on there and the impact. lucky for me the lens still works great! i was just wondering if anyone else has had something similar happen to them with their camera. |
A suggestion from another forum i use for paintball is always use a rainhood (to cover the camera and lens) and filter combination.
