I broke a T-ring...

Yes so... how easy are these things to break?
Bought a T-ring the other day to use with my Canon. First use tonight the damn thing breaks on me!

Unless I am missing something?

The inside ring (that is free to rotate) has come out, and the nobbly bits that are meant to keep it from doing so seem to not be extended far enough.

This really shouldn't happen should it?
It was 3.5 degrees out there... so maybe it deformed from the change in temp.

Luckily for me I'd hooked the strap of the camera over the finderscope or it would have been bye bye camera...

Oh well reduced me to piggybacking for the night but with the moon so bright yuck. Still makes for an interesting effect, single frame 1.5 min then stretched to inkyness in PS.
