Something doesn't quite add up about that story IMHO.

What fool leaves $10k worth of lens attached to body, with just a filter on the front and tosses that into a checked bag. Anyone with half a brain would have separated the two, put the caps on and placed them in a protective bag of some sort first.

And as for the lens - it looks like it has been hit with an icepick. That kind of damage doesn't happen inside a checked bag and whatever hit it would have gone through a hardshell suitcase as well.

Personally I reckon this was dropped or smashed by someone and the owner is now trying to claim damage - or it's a PR stunt.
