am i the only one annoyed with the nickname 'tammy' for tamrons? i don't know why... maybe because i recall a really annoying girl named tammy everytime i hear that name.

why don't people refer to their tamrons as 'rons' or 'ronnys'?

ps. this shouldn't be taken too seriously. don't send me death threats, tammy lovers. :p

I've always wondered why condominiums are abbreviated to condo and not something slightly longer.

And what are we going to call Sony?

Crap?

I tend to use the entire name when referring to Tamron lenses. If I start abbreviating the name, I find myself thinking of Debbie Reynolds (who I had a significant crush on around 40 years ago:o:lol:).

The only name I really ever take liberties with is Nikon. They are now, and forever will be, NOINK!


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!
