fondler

Used in regard to camera collectors who do not use, nor know how to use their equiptment.

May be seen with a camera in public, but isn't likely going to ever develop the film. If they do develop the film, they admire on the sharpness and color qualities, and quickly disregard the photographs to continue fondling their camera.

Usually a leicaphile but may also be a contaxian. Canonites and and Nikonites usually fall under the catagory of a wanker.

all he does is stroke over his new leica m7, i mean, have you actually seen any of his photos? What a fondler.

nikonian

A person who photographs with a Nikon camera, and is convinced it's tha bomb. In reality, Nikon has been really slipping in optical performance since the mid 1970s. Today, even Canon and Olympus Zuiko are pulling well ahead in technical specifications.

Plus, the results are usually pretty bland.

only a nikonian would be convinced that a $150 lens is "top of the line"

canonite

A person who takes photographs with a Canon camera. These people usually think that features out-weigh optical quality. They will buy a $1200 body, and slap a cheap lens on it, and a cheap flash. But they feel that the $1200 body they bought will save them from their poor optical choices.

I got this cool Tamron lens, it was only $150, and it's a 2.4/24-80. Good thing i shoot canon!

dbsa

depression/bipolar support aliance. a place where depressives and bipolars go to complain about life.

NOTE: I am bipolar, DBSA is just a very negative "support" group, everwhere I have been.

if you want to feel good about your life, start thinking good about your life. If you want to feel horrible about your life, think horribly about your life. No amount of medication will save you from yourself.

photo.net

where mediocre photographers with a lot of technical knowlege go to act like hotshots.

in reality, they're just a bunch of old fookers with too much time, money, and gear.

www.photo.net, go there if you think you're hot shit, don't if you need to learn something.
