Do you name your photography equipment?

I named my tripod "Sputnik", but that's all. [H]


Anyone else?

Best. Post. Ever.





Oh and to answer the question? Why would I name something that already has a name? That would just get confusing. Or creepy. Or both. I mean, I'm not going to stroke my 300/4L IS and whisper to it "my preciousssssss...." That could be highly inappropriate in a public setting.

I agree totally. I think that would only be appropriate if for the f/2.8.
