From: Christine Nielsen
Hello all,
I'm kind of new here, been lurking around mostly, but I've seen
enough to know that you'll be able to help me.... Here's my
situation:
Last night I started the first class of a ten-week workshop on
Portraiture. As usually happens, the instructor came to the point
where she wanted to get a rough idea of who she was dealing with.
"How many people shoot Canon? How many are Nikon shooters?" She
counted the hands that went up, and then, shaking her head side to
side in the "NO" gesture, she said, "Does anyone have anything
else...?" This is when my hand went up. She looks at me surprised,
"Sony?"
"Nope. Pentax."
Her look changes from surprise to an equal mix of confusion and
concern. "Do you /really/?"
"I really do."
Now, I am perfectly confident and comfortable in my choice of gear.
I do not feel embarrassed or ashamed. I also prefer to let my photos
do the talking, instead of the camera brand. However....sometimes,
I just want a good comeback. Something that demonstrates just how
brilliant and independent-minded I am in my choice, and how superior
it is. What do you say to the Canikon crowd to put them in their
place? I would like to have something ready to go when I go back
tonight for the start of the Creative Lighting workshop. :)
I merely point out that *ALL* of my lenses are stabilized; that I can
even still use Pentax's *LEGENDARY* screw mount optics when I wish and
let the quality of my results say whatever else needs saying.
