you are watching an NFC Championship football game between two huge rivals, your teams winning and running for another touchdown in the 4th& you start talking to everyone about the big white lens you just saw on the sidelines! LOL! [:P]
Feel free to finish the title sentence in a way that expresses your over the edge addiction!!

Hmmm
How about you are watching the game for the lenses, then trying to see how many are using the same ones you have.....
....and pointing out to your grandkids how they get photographed at their games with the same equipment the pro's do...
LOL! I guess that tops mine ...at least I started out watching just to see the Packers win! Those darn white lenses kept distracting me!!
At least the Pack kept their mind on the game!

Admit it, you do this to....
Your watching a movie or TV and someone has a camera. Your looking for the Red Ring or a Name to see what he is using. And then get a good laugh when you see his prop is a 30 year old camera.
Now when I
heck not just CNN but I do that now with my own local newspaper!
...when you evaluate the lens bokeh of your own eye.
When your spouse asks how many hours you are going to sit out in the cold taking pictures of the same cardinals week in and week our and your response is, "not until my pictures are as good as the guys
ROFL!!!! OMG ...too funny!!! [:D]

2. You know brand, model, and sometimes shooting mode of a camera by the shutter sound.
3. You truly see the world, but think it would look better with a red ring on it.

- When you pause a dvr recording so you can know precisely which lens was being used
- When you becomeirate at how unrealistic crime shows are for somehow getting both macro andtelephoto pictureswiththe samegeneral purposelens
- When it is Sunday and your hands just feel funny because you haven't taken a picture since Friday night
When you ditch the middle of a really good movie, grab your telephoto gear, and race out the door the moment you hear a hawk outside... Even if your family is sitting there with you
When you enjoy listening to the burst audio sample of your favorite Canon camera like it were your favorite song!
When you have the 1D Mk IV's 10 FPS burst set as your ringtone [;)]

When you start searching the house for things that you could sell to buy more lenses.
when you are asked to take a family photo and it take you about 30 -45 minutes to setup all your gear!
this happened to me...
when you get a new pair of glasses and notice the Chromatic Aberration out in the sunlight for the first time lol
When you see a photograph of a hot model and first thing you do is analyze catchlights and shadows trying to figure out what lighting was used...

When you simulate the framing of a tilt-shift lens by making a circle with you thumb and index fingers and moving it around your eye [:D]
1. Your first nephew only recognizes you with a camera strapped to your face.
2. Your favorite comic strip is "What the Duck"
3. And you know your addicted to photography when your camera bag replaces the space of the spare tire in the trunk of your car.
Sadly these are all personally true for me....except for the spare tire in the trunk....well I guess technically on a VW Bug the front is the trunk
When you watch the Super Bowl halftime show and wonder how many people just got a picture of the back of someones head [:P]
