Do you ever have folks ask to borrow your EOS gear? How do you respond?
Here's the background: I'm strictly an amateur, and I have what I think is
a nice collection of equipment of which I'm quite proud and I take excellent
care of it. I have a new Elan 7E and an ever newer 100-400 IS L which I
often use to shoot my kids' sporting events. The situation: yesterday at a
soccer tournament, another parent asked if I'd bring my camera and lens
again today so he could "run a roll" through it. I said yes, but I didn't
want to! I felt put on the spot. Frankly, schlepping photo gear to soccer
games isn't as easy as it may seem--I have 3 kids, so I'm also lugging
chairs and blankets and a cooler, etc., in addition to the heavy camera bag
and monopod. It's often quite a trek from the car to the field. I do this so
that we can have decent pics of the kids, and of course because I enjoy the
hobby. I feel so selfish because I don't want this man playing with my
toys...since I already said yes, that's that, but for future reference, what
would/do you do?
