The stupid, it burns! Literally.

The Lens Rentals company has a blog, and on this blog they posted pictures of gear they got back from folks who decided not to follow instructions when photographing the solar eclipse.

Specifically, folks who decided not to follow instructions when photographing the solar eclipse with someone else's rented $11,500 telephoto lens. (No word if they were the ones who had it mounted on the $1,500 camera body and cooked the shutter and sensor.)

Further, that's not the sort of mishap that's covered by accident insurance, because that's not an accident, it's an on-purpose. Stupid should hurt, and in this case it will hurt like a shot to the wallet.
