Lens Envy... by julzmaioro

Lens Envy...

I was getting myself lined up to catch 'the' shot of Granddaughters doubles row down to the finnish line, when this guy came and stood right in front of me .. I think he would of been able to capture every single bead of sweat on their brows.. he was also sporting a very fancy vest that said ' Media'... Well I am quite happy with my 28-300 it is far easier to carry around...
GD and buddy got through to the semi finals tomorrow...
Ha - did you yell at him to get out of the way? With a lens that big, he could have set up camp in the carpark! Great results to get into the semifinals.

How annoying and rude - media or not!

I often have lens envy hahahahaha

That is quite the lens. Would absolutely love to have one, but budget restraints really do not allow one. But then, really - how often would I actually use it? (Lots, probably - LOL!

@farmreporter You would need a Sherpa to carry it for you...

Want something like this - no. And people who have it think they can set up anywhere. Congrats on you Granddaughters placement. Hoping he find her in the finals next.

Big bully with a big lens!!!
March 29th, 2017  
That is totally over the top.

Gee whiz. A little common courtesy goes a long way. Just because he's big he doesn't have to be so inconsiderate. Glad your sweet girl is continuing to win!

Ha,ha...I would not be too envious...great capture of this mammoth lens and inconsiderate photographer :)

Being a man of certain age I understand the need for these things, he's either got a sports car or motorbike as well

Ooh hope you're going to have time to go & watch! Is it in Cambridge area again? This is the third big lens I have seen tonight! Wouldn't care to carry one of these around!
March 29th, 2017  
@happypat Yes we are off soon to Cambridge... fingers and toes are all crossed...

Great capture

How rude of him. I think his vest should have said 'tosser' not 'media' ha ha.

Having so much lens envy. This really made me laugh.

I would love to see what coming out of this gigantic monster.
March 30th, 2017  
Well, I hope he had his settings right - with kit like that! He wasn't going to miss much, that's for sure!

Rude! Compensation lens in my opinion. Yes big can be good but composition rules the day, any day, and time.

What a lens! Enviable for what it must be able to capture, yet entirely not practical to ever carry around!
