There does seem to be a rather strange kind of person who feels it necessary to make loud remarks about "showing off his flashy/expensive camera", or who has to tell you that you've wasted your money and that his Tokina/Vivitar/Whatever 28-200 zoom is "just as good". I have a whole series of responses, but my favourite is to smile sweetly and say "Ah, you must be one of those poor people I've read about in the Telegraph", which usually pisses them off nicely :-) But really, who cares *what* such people think?
