Default What's the most ridiculous comment you've heard with a big lens on?
This question was posted to another one of the photography forums I lurk on. So far we have over 8500 posts to this question. The general concensus is: "I bet you can see the moon" and "How much zoom can you get with that thing?" So let's hear some more "here's you sign" comments that you have received shooting with the big guns.

A guy walking by said to the woman with him
" I guess size really does matter"...
He was carrying a typical camera/lens setup, I had my D3/ Sigma 300-800mm/ Monopod/ Gunstock setup which is HUGE...

At a kids party one of the mom's said to me, if front of a group of parents; "Are you taking out your big thing today?"
She went RED as the words left her lips.

My response did not help her embarrassment. "you should know by now that I only haul it out for you on special occasions"
