The content of your message may have been useful, but your delivery sucked.

Doesn't matter if you're in an enclosed space or not, smoke,ash, etc accumulate visible or not. I'm sorry it's just a common sense thing, I really didn't feel the need to sugar coat something that you should already know.

Grow thicker skin...I thought that cigars were supposed to butch guys up. i was just teasing you man, anyone that's been on the net knows fail pics are all in good fun. You're acting like I slapped you and insulted you personally. Come on!

Back to photos!

You're right, stud. I should toughen up a little bit. Thanks for the advice. It's cool, I understand that people act differently on the internet...usually less polite and civil than they would be if they were standing face to face with the other person.

As for the smoke issue...if smoking a cigar outside and in the breeze is a problem, then I should probably never take my camera outside...ever. It's the Middle East. Everyone smokes. Everywhere. If it's that big of a deal, then walking down the street with my camera exposed will probably render it inoperable in less than week.

I'm not saying that smoke can't/won't damage it...but I doubt smoking a single stogie in the open air in the vicinity of a camera is going to damage it anytime soon.

This will be my last contribution to the hijacking of this thread. You can PM me if you have anything to add.

Sorry to Hijack if you haven't seen- (I just found this while looking all around)

Featured len of the month.... the 24-70mm!

Smoke will not damage camera outside in the breeze

My 24-70mm clicks when it goes from 24mm to 70mm. Is this normal ?. Thanks!.

No. It's not normal. When did it start?

Yeah I think so. I hear one click when zooming from 24 towards 70mm direction. Will send to Canon. Thanks!.

I guess I should trow away my 5d MkII and my 24-70L in the garbage then, it sits on my desk next to my PC all the time and I smoke all the time. It must be ruined by now.

A rare way of transportation I found on the island Stromboli (Italy).

If you smoke alot and have your camera equipment and lens sitting close by over time(years) it can ruin your equipment.

I also do computer amd some electronic repair and you should see when we get in for service a desktop or a laptop and take it apart for service we know right away if the owners are smokers.

Inside the unit is coated with nicotine. looks yellow tar like.

Open up your pc and look inside.

Forget about cameras, pc's and lenses.
What do you think their lungs look like!

this is way off topic now.... but...
If someone is willing to subject their bodies to cigarettes and not be all that worried about the effects it has on them, do you really think they're concerned about the effects it will have on the things around them?
