I am like a guy that thinks he can do brain surgery because he once got a splinter out of his sisters foot.....and he thinks he can discuss surgery with a brain surgeon and carry his weight.

There are many tens of thousands of shooters like me out there, but there are very few that realize it.

I was at the Seattle Fish market on friday. I was inside in a crowded hallway with my 16-45 and regretting not having my 10-20. I had to roll my eyes seeing a canon shooter with what had looked to be a small caliber canon instead of a lens attached to his body. Unless he was shooting close ups through the wall to wall crowd I can't see how he got anything in there with that lens. That being said, I'm sure there were plenty of canon shooters there who knew what they were doing better than I was. There are always those who think that it's all in the equipment.
