If you're only concerned about the do-dads, you've got bigger problems.

I suggest you read a few hundred posts. All these questions, and more,
have been hashed over recently.

Best of luck,

Exactly where did she say that she was concerned with "do-dads",
let alone *only* concerned with them? That is, unless you consider
lenses, including L series zooms to be "do-dads". The only problem
I can see that she might have is knowing which advise to listen to
and which to ignore. Generally, if the message header contains
"Ainsworth" in the From: field, it's well worth ignoring, as you
rarely convey useful, helpful information due to your own bigger
problems. As a former wedding photographer one would think you'd be
able to offer quite a bit of constructive help rather than the usual
destructive criticism you seem to thrive on.

All the post talked about was "the stuff." I've got this lens and this
thing and is this OK?

All that crap doesn't matter.

And after the hundreds of weddings I've done through they years,
there's no way that I or anyone could impart much through a newsgroup
message. It's been my experience that amateurs don't really want to
learn how to do photography right.

Now it is clear that what we have here,
is a mean and bitter old coot,
so grant us a boon,
fly off on your broom,
we'd rather have cunning than cute.

yes, i do want to learn right, but i guess , i wont expect help from you ,
although i opened to your opininions always wanting to learn new things, i
find it worth my time,and im always up for a challange. about being a old
coot, im only 22, but i know if i ever turned into old coot realistically my
beauty would tranfer from my face right into my heart. i suppose not all
people are that fortunate. God bless you
