Every now and then we will share a productivity tip here on DIYP. Be it A quick lens replacement, using power bars on travel or anything that we think will make your life easier.

Photographer Advocates "Pro" one Handed Lens screw - Drops $2.3K Canon L 24-70 Glass

Here is one tip we will probably never share (outside of this context anyways): How to show a lens screw move which results in dropping a $2300 Canon L lens.

You tuber C Led (who only has one online video) shares what should have been a lens swapping tutorial and ended up as an epic fail with a Canon 24-70 2.8L lens dropping on the street floor. It seems that while the lens exchange is indeed fast, it is not secure enough to keep the lens unharmed.

Not really sure how to take this, but here is my tip: better slow and secure than fast and broken on the floor.
