I've also had people say "wow, that's a big lens" when I had my 18-55. Anything bigger than a point-and-shoot to most people is big. We Canonites (and Canonettes) KNOW better!

the observation that a 18-55 is a rather smallish lens is what makes the comment funny......

You see, this post points out sarcastically that Wayne's a noob. That's why it's funny. The ":p" at the end just adds to the fun.

:p <-- see?!

I'm sure we've all got this, but i was just shooting some pelican's and this guy says, "Wow, that's a big camera!" I said, "Actually its just a small camera with a big lens!"

A kid walks by and says, "Daddy look at those binoculars!"

All with the 500mm.

i was at my wife's best friend's wedding a few weeks ago in Oz... i didn't know anyone there, and after the ceremony, i went to the bar to get a drink before the reception opened... i had my xti with the 28-135mm lens on it... no biggie...

i'm in line and a lady in front of me turns around, looks at my camera on my shoulder and goes 'ohhh are you the photographer? you shouldn't be drinking.' i just lol since the pro photographer was in the ceremony with her decked out 5D and L lenses and i was there with my 3+ yr old gear...
