Modern day insecurity.

[soupdragon]

Anyone feel uncomfortable when strangers take notice of your prized camera gear?
In these modern times I always feel it is an insidious envy as opposed to genuine interest.

Perhaps it's paranoia in my old age.

No, I like it, especially when its the Rolleicord (or in the past my Leica). X100T gets a lot more notice than the D750.

Not really had that even when I'm using my tele lens most people just say big camera

X100T gets a lot more notice than the D750.

I notice my x100 gets a lot more attention then my d750

Now that I have both the X-T2 and X-T20, I have noticed I get more looks than when I had the 70D, but the silver X-T20 does look cool.

When people say "Ooh, that's a big one" I have to resist the urge to check my fly is not undone

I get more attention with my vintage gear than my digital stuff.

Twice I have had people recognise me from YouTube, which was a really odd feeling lol.

My Vintage Olympus/ Zuiko OM stuff gets the most love out and about.

My Balda Jubilette got a lot of attention at Lincoln's Steampunk festival recently. I was the only one photographing with an appropriate camera. I seem to have got myself a name as the chap who uses old cameras, locally. No one comments on or appears to notice my modern expensive kit.

No not really mainly because I'm well insured in fact I've renewed my home insurance today, that stung a bit

From men I get "how much"

From women I get a lewd... "oo you've got a big one"..... to which i reply.. ..."that's because i polish it a lot" . they have a mucky giggle and walk off...
