Post the (Second) most ridiculous comments you've received with a big lens on!

When I got more serious about photography as a hobby I bought a new 70-200 2.8 IS II.

My friends were quick to give the lens a nick name, "the pedo lens"

Picking up a 300 2.8 and 200-400 didn't help and they absolutely love the 600 f4! lol

This isn't so much related to a big lens, but I think it is appropriate for the thread. I was asked to get some photos of co-workers doing their thing in the office. I showed up with a 1970s vintage film camera, wide angle zoom, and a thyristor flash. One of the subjects said, "Wow! That is a fancy professional camera." He was shocked when I told him, "I think all of this cost $50 on E-bay."

I was asked to post this here when I posted it in the joke section as a true story.

I was photographing my nephews son at a kiddie park with my 5D mkIV and 200mm F2L when I was approached by an attractive young lady. I figured she was going to ask me about setting up a shoot with her child....instead she looked down at my combo and asked “Is it big enough”? I responded with “Well most women seem to think so”! All she could do was blush and walk away.

Haha, 70-200s of any type often get that nickname, and it never stops being stupidly funny
