what i always get in the local forum in Singapore:
-the horizon is tilted
-there is a flare/dust/whatever in the photograph, you should photoshop it..
-I think xxx lens is better than yyy lens cus it has lower distortion and better CA control blah blah blah....
-it is slightly out of focus/not sharp if seen at 100% crop
-the image is way too noisy, especially if you crop at 100% (when my ISO 400 photograph is way grainier than the photograph itself..)
Sharpness, noise, and all the technical stuff have been overrated in digital nowadays, i think.. I guess more technicians use cameras than photographers nowadays..
I met a friend who brought along another friend of him. He brought a brand new D700.. I said, "Wow, a shiny full frame camera.." he replied me, "What is full frame?" then in the end, i have to give him some pointers about how to use that d700, which i never lay my hands on before, while he told me that, "I got this stuff cus everyone else on the street got one like this.." please chop my head off..

My two-year-old son is used to looking at his picture whenever I take one with one of my digitals. He's always very confused when I'm using my Yashica 35 and he can't look at his picture right away

"Can't we just go for a walk WITHOUT a camera this time? Just you and me? You're always taking pictures when we're together."

At my graduation.
Asked a (JOURNALISM/BROADCASTING!!) teacher who was twice my age to take a picture of me with my friends and handed him my fm2n...
"What's this? I don't know how to work one of these?"
Is it not like riding a bicycle? He must've used a film camera before given his age.
Also, "Ken rockwell says...."
And "Come look at the 24053920496 pictures we took on our vacation to las vegas"

For me it's anything to do with the term CLA or Sherry. I know what a CLA is, but have o idea who Sherry is, and though I could asily ask, I don't want to know, somehow. It seems tradition for every Leica M shooter to send a perfectly good camera for the ubiquitous CLA seemingly quite often.

Walking into work with my Contax I on my shoulder, a co-worker asks, "Is that a classic black and white?" I said, "Uh.. well I have color film loaded right now.." haha And then the next question always is, "What year is that from?" or "What kind of film does that take?" and they're always amazed when I say 35mm..
