[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 337328, member: 12257"] Never. Period. I usually only got asked by folks that loved a particular photo I shared... you know the type. "Wow, you must have a great camera!" folks. The ones who didn't know cameras would go, "Ahhhhh!" and that was it. All I felt was pride in the fact that I produced something that caught their interest, and I loved the fact that I was able to do it with my wonderful little red beast. (since replaced by the PRIMAL beast) Those who DID know cameras usually responded with, "REALLY!?", and that gave me even more pride as I was able to produce something that caught their interest AND prove that it's more the photographer than the equipment. Either way, no shame. ;) Plus, even though I have my PRIMAL beast, the D7100, now, I have no shame in saying that a D3100 is my backup, especially when most of the shots in my portfolio came from that gem!
