Well - Regarding # 13, you need to ask whether it'll be safe to take your equipment anyway.

Actually from the generic list here, it appears you really did do a search and found the answers and created this fake questionaire. You don't really have these questions personally do you? Which leads to the question of what exactly is the intent here?

I think it was meant to be a bit of a joke pointing out just how many times we get asked the same questions over and over again

I only realised about half way down the list :D

Think he missed a couple off

Which tripod should I buy?
Which strap is best?
Which bag is big enough for .......?
I want to shoot portraits, sport, nature, landscapes, street, macro, low light, products, events and travel. Which lens is best. I have a $50 budget


Very lucky to have a lot of nice toys :)

I love when people ask me this question, it is so hard not to smile...Mostly I tell them since they spent so much on the camera itself, they really need to spend the $ on the right glass as well.

Yep, like this one...
How do I get a photographers pass for (insert any sporting event/concert etc that someone doesn't want to pay to get in to)

depends on whether you need 2.8 or more range on the long end
2) Do filters diminish image quality
Oh the worms!! They're everywhere!! Who opened the can??? To an extent. Yes. More expensive ones, not noticeably
3) Should I get a 7D or 5DII
Do you intend to shoot sports and need the faster AF, or do you want high ISO capabilities and full frame?
4) Are there hidden fixes in firmware upgrades
Yes, your camera will now self-destruct when you mount any non-canon lens
5) Is the 24-70L wide enough on a crop body
Depends on how fat your model is
6) What is the best budget walk around lens
Canon 28-300L
7) Which 70-200 lens in the sharpest
F4 IS or 2.8 IS II
8) Is my_____ lens sharp/did I get a good copy
Yes. Very. No.
9) What is the best portrait lens
The one you don't have
10) Should I buy a battery grip
Do you have the money?
11) Should I send my camera to Canon
Send it to Nikon
12) Should I send my lens to Canon
Send it to me instead
13) Upcoming trip, what lens should I take
All of them, but leave the body at home.

There you go :)
