Nice Photo - What kind of camera do you have?

On the other end of the scale are the comments I get when I've got three different Fujis hanging from my neck and shoulders yet I'm taking the photo with the phone...

Me - The picture taking kind.

If I was genuinely interested in another photographers camera and got that answer, he'd likely walk away with a fat lip!!!
And this on my first day here!!! LoL

Since I got my Fuji X-T3 in Silver, I`ve had a few folk say great looking film camera bet it takes great photos. I just say Yes I do thanks.

It can be annoying but really just let them either a-try to get that look themselves and realize how much skill and practice is required or b-go on in their ignorance. Either way works for me.

Yes, not a lot of love among photographers! We need to keep in mind that no matter how ignorant WE feel any question is, we were ALL that ignorant once.
WE, as photographers only have one chance to make a first impression, either as individuals or as a representation of our group or profession. WE can make it what we will.
I say it’s best to use a little honey rather than gasoline and a match!!! LoL

Tell her a Hasselblad H6D-400c MS with
HCD 35-90 lens. The chance of her spending almost 60K on a camera would be about the same as her being able to do the shot.

Or you could take the opposite approach and say one of these:

I would just say it’s a (Nikon/Canon/Fuji) dslr.

For the record, I just answered "Nikon D7200".

I'm going to tell my d7200 to take a shot like that for me!

Just tell her what camera and lens you used, and if she's that interested maybe she'll figure it out. The fact that you inspired her to want to take photos like this should make you feel good about yourself. It's a very good photo.
