Haha that's funny. What's crazy is technically it still kind of worked, just the front element that focuses fell out, none of the glass broke. You could just like 'free lens' with the front element all loose and floating but of course it would fall back out as soon as you didn't hold it there. I tried playing around with taking pictures with this 'strange' lens where you could shift the front element around kind of like one of those lensbaby effect lenses or something but really the effect with it was very 'bland' and I got bored of keeping this broken lens and discarded it. So yeah, a waste of money for sure! Now we are seeing dissapear the days of all these EOS lenses being sold, so it will be only the used market from now on soon enough.
