"The guy.."

He looked at my A 400 5.6 and said, "I only shoot ƒ/4". Once he realized the conversation was over he tried a bit to resurrect it.


If you want to have a conversation with me, don't start by pulling a snob move.

I might have consoled, "Oh, sorry to hear your lens is broken."

Very unusual. Wish I could afford a couple of 67IIs
I wish I could afford a team of people to cart my gear around for me in a trolley...

Great series Norm. Amazing how that woman spent all that money on her kit (Canon 100-400??), but never learned to lock in the left elbow or use a hood.

At least she is looking through the viewfinder and not at the back screen in live view. Baby steps...

I went out, it was -15ºC, my hands froze and surprisingly, there weren't a lot of birds around.

But I met these guys.


Two former Canon 1dx shooters now shooting R5s. The one on the left bought two, and said he has rarely had two, reliability issues are keeping him from carrying a back up. The latest being you can spin the dial, but the settings don't change.
