The Melbourne photographic studio of Kane Hibberd was broken into over Christmas and a lot of Kane’s equipment was stolen.

“Merry to Christmas to me. Studio was broken into over Christmas sometime. We are missing:
2 x 5dmk II Bodies
2 x 24 – 70 Canon Lenses (they left a 3rd 24 – 70 mm lens) One of these lenses will have an iron maiden sticker on the lens hood. The other is cosmetically pretty scratched up, works fine though,
1 x 16 – 35 Mk II 2.8
1 x 15mm canon fisheye
Very strange as they didn’t touch a 1dsmk3 or 1 dsmk4 bodies. They also didn’t take 2 x 70 – 200 lenses.
Worst timing with festival season. Insurance is going to take awhile to sort out.
Absolute Jerks”
