Don't ask how. Do we think it'll be possible to fix this...light meter seems not to be working...

New body is only about £35 so no disaster but it's the principle of the thing!

I thought crampons were for snow and ice and not cameras. Ah no worries, it looks like you just confirmed that 😆

I guess at that cost not worth troubling the insurance company.

Well my crampons worked on the camera in the sense that they evidently gripped on it

Shall I see how my Petzl Summit ice axe works on cameras too?

Good job you didn't have a DSLR! 😉

I'm sure the camera was in proper winter condition at the time.

Thats dry tooling and you will be excommunicated for that.
I did a similar thing with my Rollei 35 years ago. Camera in back pocket. Knelt down and the step in binding of a crampon went into the light metre.
Sold it as bits for more than I paid for it.
