@jaberg, When I walked around a corner at Fisherman's Wharf in SF, and there were four cops with their guns drawn in the middle of the street pointing them at two dudes laying face down on the road...

@amd, Perhaps we have a different level of awareness of what is happening around us. Glass half full, ribs broken in a bar fight, chased by a dude with a parang. Stuff like that.

@RSTP14 That's funny. I walked out of a hotel in Adelaide later one afternoon. The doorman straight up asked me where I was going. I just said for a walk. As the sun started to go down, the...

@Arthur Stanley Jefferson I know when a couple of street rats are after me. When I was at school in Australia the kids we were most wary of were the British immigrant kids as they were often...

@PA, Seriously? Straight up the escalators, over the barriers, and you would be out the door. I had eye contact with him from about three feet away. It was the girlfriend that realised I wasn't...

@PA, I put my camera down in Piccadilly Station at 3.00pm on a Tuesday to put it in my backpack after arriving from Knightsbridge, and out of the corner of my eye two young people had suddenly...

Walk around East Hastings Street in Vancouver BC with a Leica and see how long you have it. Or Edmonton. On the door of a hotel I stayed in in Edmonton was a sign that said if you look out the...

@Jeff Greenberg I try to judge my surroundings very carefully, but have been unexpectedly caught out a few times such as in London. I actually like a somewhat longer lens on the street, as it...

Where are you going to find a cop to go around looking for your camera gear. They will just laugh at you and tell you to claim it on your insurance.

I have nearly been robbed on more than one occasion and am getting more stealthy with my travel equipment as time goes by. I would hand over a thousand dollar camera, but for a three thousand...

Enthusiast at just short of $3k with tax? Bye.

You ever use the old Kodak Gold 35mm film?

Can you use a Tamron or whatever on a RF mount body with the EF to RF adaptor?

This makes about as much sense as BMW where you have to pay an extra $20 a month for your blinkers to work. They will catch a lot of people who didn't read the fine print, and will become...

It is reported variously that the DSLR market is dying off at a rapid pace. The demise of EF and EF-s is therefore inevitable. The question then becomes, will Canon be able to compete with Sony in...
