Yes, I do too! But I suppose it is always possible to trip and fall forward, crushing the camera as you hit the ground. Nevertheless, still much safer using neck strap than not using it.
Hi. My name is Rick. Im the owner and lead technician at Discount Camera Repair and a member in good standing here at the UHH. Ive been doing repairs for other members here at greatly discounted rates and would be glad to help.
I'd be more than happy to repair the camera and lens for you and keep the cost as low as possible. If youre interested, please respond by private message or simply reply to this post.

Anyone have any hints, tips or tricks to removing a Nikon lens off of a Nikon D80 after the camera and lens were dropped on to asphalt. Camera still works and lens still works except not very good in clear focus. Depth of field seems to have taken a hit too. But.... Would like to get lens off and see how much damage there is the camera vs the lens. Lens will not rotate at all when trying to remove from camera even with the release button depressed. Maybe a 0.1" at most Just won't release to allow the lens to be removed. Any hints on how to get the lens off without sending it to Nikon for $$$$$ repair?

Even after the repair is done and paid for , it may still leak light from the side of the mount, Money wasted, Retire the camera and buy a new body and use your spare lens.

You mean you use only one at a time? :D

Since it may be beyond help anyhow, how bout a large pair of channel lock pliers? Probably the same thing the 'technician' at the camera store would use.
He would use the $300 Augmented Lens Removal Tool, Part #RZE-42865-Z. - made by Channellock :D

That is the government price, isn't it?
