About this image

First bit of colour imaging in a while after waiting for my camera back from a long to-and-from journey to China.

"It's broken" "Send it to China" "Sent back" "We've fixed it" "No you haven't it's still broken" "Send it back" "No it's broken" "Send it back and we'll send a replacement" "Sent back - again" "Replacement sent but rejected by customs" "Sent yet again and gets through"

8 months later... new one plugged in and all works as it should. It definitely was broken!
