Canon Glass @richardchoi

richardchoi NOTE: EVERYONE, THE LENS WAS ALREADY BROKEN! THE ONLY REASON I BOTHERED WAS CURIOSITY. IT WAS WAY BROKEN BEFORE I SHOT THIS VIDEO.

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.
