On a sidenote I nearly got mugged in my very own hallway last evening at like seven effing thirty in the evening,
and those junkies apparently were after my 34 year old canon AE-1 whose bag looks like mold!
If I recall correctly I focused more on not-letting-the-camera-go than protecting my ribs while they were kicking me, lying on the ground.
They can not haz!
I feel you, hope you're well. Something similar happened to me last summer, some cunt jumped me and held a knife to my throat as the other one went through my bag, took a cheap minolta slr, probably mistook it for something more expensive as it was black (with all logos masked with tape) and wielded a telescopic lens, the worst part is they probably just trashed it after realizing they won't be able to shift it.
Anyway, replaced it with a nikon fg-20, incredibly light and treats me well.
