Canon Glass

[hichaeretaqua]

If you have to much money, maybe you can give me some...

[helthuismartin]

Is this a anti youtube video orr what? You are killing dreams man.

[helthuismartin]

Lets bring it too a Canon service center.,Letz see how they react .

[TheEvilCommenter]

It's glass dips hits

[espaceman000]

Clearly, it withstands substantial impact, but that actually makes sense when you consider the structural integrity of a convex surface. Still, you never want to drop your lens, and everyone agrees that you just try not to do so, but then things do happen. Scratches, however, are more easily preventable and bring about the age-old "UV-filter vs. no UV-filter" argument. And this test did little to comfort me if using a naked lens.

jajjajajajajajaj

[brunopiresbp]

You did not manage to break the glass because it is plastic :) but I guess you should know this buy now...lol

Anyway, next time even if broke already, it would be a better destination to donate it to charity, or sell it on ebay as broke.

[eyun01]

wow impressive... 2 bad its made out of ful plastic... damn Canon playing their garbage game.

[TechCrazy]

@eyun01:

Thats why its holding up. Plastic will bounce and metal will dent. Everything metal is way overrated.

[JohnHFilms]

Tough glass..

[Rolwhite]

This is not a L-Lens, this lens cost about 100 buck,that is why he is doing this!

[CoolTokyoLife]

Warning: READ THE DESCRIPTION FIRST.

[TheMacShake]

@CoolTokyoLife yes the description confirms that this guy is a ass hole

[rjwjanssen]

Thanks for showing this. I always treat my lenses like wounded baby-birds that fell from the nest, when it comes to the glass parts. Looks like they're not that vulnerable at all. During regular use dust inside a lens is probably a more real threat to image quality than scratched glass.

[8976010]

So..whats the use of this ??

[fasteddy60]

asshole !!

[CrimsonStigmata]

Wow I could barely even watch this. Had like one eye open with my hands over my eyes. >_<"

[wooMARVIN]

i find this kinda funny. idk why.

[guspo1]

Do that with a50 or 85mm 1.2 , Fool !!

[choua1855]

wow, i didn't know that canon glass is that strong.

[happylad]

this vid made me cringe..

[eSQuiR3]

Well for one thing, at least it showed how durable Canon lenses are. Which they are from what we can see. The Lens was probably spoiled in the first place before he did this. The focus ring looks whacked too.

[BraancampProject]

Were you bored? Why not sit your butt on the stove, with

he on?

[analyticalw]

You scared the living crap out of me...even so this morning when accidentally I sprayed computer duster on my lens... I'm still wondering if I should just get it repaired or just buy a new one...

[delacruzmakeup]

Omg watching this was making me so nervous LOL.

I broke mine today :( !!!!!! 2 perfect halves.

[schmiiid]

when i heard the keys i was all like "god, no. please don't do that to the lens!".

but it was quite a relief when you "just" used the hammer ;D

[PreciousGirl1990]

My heart cries watching this T.T

[ig92r]

Good work, smash it harder next time. good luck

[LIwarriorTKD]

i was sitting here looking like O_o... but then i snapped out of it when i heard the evangelion music haha, its so random

[TheSkullShank]

boy, people just dont understand the point of this video.

[redmirror2]

Guess I'll skip the protective filter then... lol

[citizenzombie]

Spoiled rich kids.

[jknightglfr]

@citizenzombie LOL. This is like a $75 lens. If it was already broken it would be cheaper to get a new one than to send it into Canon to get it fixed.

[citizenzombie]

@jknightglfr The point isn't how much the lens, itself, costs. The point is that you should respect your equipment. The point is you should respect the craft of photography. The point is, while photographers are out taking pictures, SPOILED RICH KIDS (clearly with disposable incomes) are destroying lenses on YouTube for the sake of "entertainment."

Anyway... not a beef. Just an opinion. You stick to yours and I'll stick to mine.

[richardchoi]

@citizenzombie Pros will routinely take their gear out in snow, rain, deserts, etc. In fact, I STILL HAVE THIS LENS. I'm not "destroying" this lens because it's already broken, I was horrified when it broke. In fact, even if it wasn't already broken I wouldn't have destroyed it! There's no salvageable value in this lens, it would cost the equivalent of atleast 2 copies of this lens to repair it.

[citizenzombie]

@richardchoi Sorry, then, Richard. You'll have to forgive me, though. I guess I fail to see the entertainment in it.

[ryanlaing]

god dammit.

[surjit24]

such a fool person!

[AndreasFehrm]

Haha, I didn't think that this cheap lens was that robust. Now I have more trust in my 50mm f/1.8 II than I had before.

[MacBooker4444]

well it holds up very well, i thought it was going to break when you took out that hammer but it didn't. I don't know why you are trying you break a $100 lens but I have seen people smash $500 iPad screens. LOL

[MacBooker4444]

what the fuck. stop doing that you asshole

[linusjcmlopez]

@ zuperfine: i couldn't agree with you more

[hfpong]

I think you have broke the motor in the lens already

[m1ggyzzz]

what video game is that song from? it sounds so familiar

[m1ggyzzz]

@m1ggyzzz nvm i figured out. evangelion, right?

[ec8836]

why smash the 1.8, go and smash an "L" if you have one to prove it is solid built!! Idiot!!

[TATSHOOT]

Now see if your teeth hold up the same!!!

[royzilla92]

LMAO...i didnt know EF 50mm f1.8 's glass could last that strong...

[lungdog009]

You are fucking so weak.............

[profineger]

good job xD

[Katalyzt]

You are not hitting it hard enough. ;O)

Katalyzt

[StupidVids2009]

does it project upside down? :/

[sasktank]

break a nikon lens next time -- that way no one will be care

[LokeshLokesh]

Everytime you try to maim that poor lens I cringe... Sitting through the video was like watching a dear friend get tortured. Brrr

[xXxmidgexXx]

If this lens is broken, its pretty much a really fancy paper weight. xD

[hfpong]

poor lens :(

[zuperfine]

If you want be famous, take some good pictures! Smashing your equipment only makes you a fool.

[richardchoi]

@zuperfine I don't think you read the part about the lens already being broken.

[zuperfine]

@richardchoi "Bored, so I decided to see how fragile Canon glass was. The lens is a canon 50mm 1.8 II, and the front element is actually quite alright, I only managed to scratch some of the coating off in the last part. Also note that larger, heavier lenses with larger front elements are probably easier to crack/break than the 50mm 1.8, which was already broken anyway."

I don't think you mentioned a broken lens anywhere.

[zuperfine]

@zuperfine forgive my ignorantness

[zuperfine]

@richardchoi Did I tell you to take pictures with your broken lens?

[ahmedhkable]

@richardchoi thats so funny..............and i did that to mine too...hehehe

[8976010]

I Agree.

[chalenger42]

@zuperfine You've missed the point entirely.

[charlievtb]

wow good lens you can buy other again and again and again

[Brenniman65]

Nice to have that kind of money to waste

[jknightglfr]

@Brenniman65 Wasting $75? Considering it is the cheapest lens Canon makes and it would probably cost more to have it repaired by Canon, why not do this? =) He can have a brand new replacement for cheaper and in less time than if Canon were to fix it.

[dinosauree]

J'ai échappé cette lentille d'environs 3 pieds par terre, elle a effleurée le plancher et elle a ouvert en deux. (irréparable).

[HatroVille]

Sell it on Ebay...

Make sure u mension..

I tried smashing it with a hammer.

ahahha

[ErDerErIs]

XDXDXD HAHA

[riccolesmana]

all I want to say is WOW. Canon has great quality of each lens, and it's unbreakable things =D ♥ it

[kefis]

holy fucking shit, its like beating an animal i didnt finish the rest

[matteuklol]

what the fuck are you doing

[Alex62420]

fou !

[AllanMZ54]

In the end he should hit this lens by huge rock destroying it completely and advertise the house building company saying something like that: - If you build your house call us. Our bricks are made from the rocks like that hehehe

[AbsolutelyApes]

lol. freakin' choi! i flinched like i was watching someone kick a puppy.

[qxbus]

this lens dead!!!

[macleb86]

i bet that its not working anymore !!

[makofoto]

next time just scratch up or smear up a filter instead of a lens!

[hjinirio]

Sign me up for the "not trying this at home" group.

[EarDestroyer]

my god this video scared me, i felt like it was a child being beat rofl great video, damm that lens can take abuse.

[znijev]

This is because the cheaper lenses aren't made with real glass, they are more plastic. while the L series would break if you do this kind of abuse to them.

[richardchoi]

You clearly know nothing about lenses. The only reason an "L" series lens would break is because it's a larger piece of glass, so it's structurally weaker. The cheaper lenses aren't made out of "plastic" beyond the lens body and mounts.

[allankcrain]

Now sell it on eBay as "EXCELLENT CONDITION! JUST NORMAL WEAR FROM USAGE! L@@K!"

[Petsku333]

Now that's impressive. I always thought lenses are really fragile : D

[rustynasty143]

wow can you try that to your Canon L glasses lets see how durable they are and can you message me if you already have a demonstration video, many thanks.

[Alphamodule]

Omg thats an incredible durability... many thanks for this demonstration in canon lens stability :)

[krispykat69]

..........dayum man o.o

[s044121]

HOLY SHIT!!!! AWESOME....

[goodforalaugh]

wow!!!!!! if you want to make A little $ you should scrap it out for parts

[DecoyJayc]

Pretty tough

[cedricnocon]

I have the same lens. Did yours fell apart? Looks like you have it glued at the front focus ring.

[Terjay]

What a waste.

[HenMoh]

lol :-D

[Ab82photog]

hahaha, crazy motha fo, BREAK IT, BREAK IT!
