Originally posted by minahasa Okay, today I was shooting my town's parade with fellow photoclub members, in the middle of the show my Nikonian friend rush to me and told me that he spotted a foreigner shooting Pentax with a really huge lens some 1000 meters away down the road. I went searching, but I guess the odds of finding someone in the middle of a swarm of thousand of people...
Its interesting that even a non-pentax person is excited when they see someone using a pentax. Him rushing over to come and tell you. Nice
I would have gone searching too like you did. Too bad you didnt find him.
In any case a couple of weeks a go when we had the art night in my city, I was taking a shot when another photographer just approached me to look at my camera. I had a blue K30 with 18-135mm. I dont know why he would do that because he had a 5D MKII.
I asked him how he liked the 5D and he said he liked it very much. But he didnt ask anything more about my camera except the initial curiousity.
I thought it was a little strange. Maybe I spooked him with a rare brand.
That same night people kept saying, that is a really nice camera. It must be expensive. How much is it?
