[QUOTE="wud, post: 174250, member: 13578"] Yesterday while taking pictures of a 5 months old in a crowded park, I was waiting while the kid got something to eat and this really happy guy came and asked if he could see my lens (70-200mm) cause it looked SO amazing. Of course he could, and I gave him the camera so he could see through the viewfinder himself. He was all "wooooow" lol. We got to talk and he convinced me to go look at his Canon, he was very new to photography and hadn't figured out how and what could be done yet.
