We can remain supportive friends than can relate to one another on a professional level. We truly have the best of both worlds."

She may or may not take the hint, but at least your not sinking to her level. You don't have to justify yourself to her and you certainly don't have to accept her opinion of you either.
I would say thats quite a good route to go down - hopefully she will get the hint.

She does sound very insecure (and also sounds as if she has very limited knowledge of the subject).

Shooting Auto?? How does she manage DOF? or doesnt she bother?
