Always good to be nice to other shooters and other up-and-coming shooters. I got jammed into a corner during a concert w/ a guy using a 30D and 18-55 kit lens, I had my XT and a few f/2.8 lenses. He was blown away at the difference (apparently not clear on how f/2.8 was far superior to f/5.6 in a dark environment). Let him borrow my 18-50 f/2.8 sigma, FLOORED at the difference.
Run into the same guy at another event, he had passes, I did not. Remembered me being nice, hooked me up w/ a pass to shoot from the pit.
Always cool to run into people who are there enjoying their work, as opposed to those who feel that it has to be some sort of cut throat competition.

That is really cool, yeah when I was shooting in the studio with the 18-55, every picture was crap because I was constantly at f/5.6, but when he gave me the 50 f/1.8, it made a worlds of difference, I"m sure they still turned out like crap but you know. Ha, cool karma.
