Just thought I'd put this out there, after spending a few days in tourist-central (historical Athens) I saw a mass of DSLRs, lots of Canon, Nikon, a few Olys and Sonys and three Pentax (a K100, K10 and M-m - all with kit lens, I didn't try to remember, I just have that kind of memory, don't judge me.).
Beautiful photo. I'm not after logos and especially big corp logos but I feel wearing the 'other' gear and logo is kind of defying the "following the crowd worshiping the multi million corp" mentality, as long as the 'other' gear is better than anything else (at least my K100
, it's mine after all). I wear my cam all the time when I'm on a hike or a street walk which I conceive as a possible photo-op, lens cap permanently off during that time (what are filters for?). The best photos are often spontaneous and about capturing a moment. I somtimes even put the cam besides myself when I'm driving. Do as you feel comfortable with, but I feel you'd like an encouragement to go out bold and proud
