I must be doing something completely wrong. I'm taking photos for about 25 years now and I was never ever asked anything by strangers when I was out taking photos.

oh how I wish daily for Leica to come out with a IIIf digital replica
Actually, to be perfectly pedantic, the poll "question" didn't mention strangers. In the past, I've had some friends and acquaintances ask me something about "f-stops", in public, about a few fixed-lens cameras (the Hexar AF, notably). 🙂
Don't laugh ... five or six years ago I wasn't sure what an f-stop was ... and I didn't really know what a prime lens was and how it related to focal length either ... I thought zooms were 'it!' 😱
STOPS. G-stops.No, it's digital so it has G-spots.
Most cameras have f-stops. What makes people think only old cameras have f-stops? Anyone who has used a digital camera would still see f-stops. Makes no sense to me... If they know the word f-stop, they should know that. Unless they only use a phone to take photos (which probably doesn't show that info).

I've gotten an equally astonishing question when shipping a Rolleiflex for CLA from a UPS store, where the teenaged clerk asked me what "that thing" was. I told him a camera. At least his response was "I kind of thought so." Sic transit gloria photographia.
