<p>In November 2003, I went to <a href="http://www.eisinger.net/travel/egypt.html">Egypt</a> with my wife, sister, and mother. At the time I had a Canon EOS Elan IIe film SLR. I did not upgrade to a 10D until 6 months later. We arrived at the Giza Pyramids on the morning of our first full day in Egypt and I discovered that the latch that holds the film door closed was broken. So the door kept opening, which had the rather unfortunate effect of exposing the film. I managed to find some duct tape and tape the door closed as best I could and tried very hard to hold the door shut while taking pictures for the next week. :sigh:<br>
