From: Doug McDonald on 8 Aug 2010 20:03 If you DO shoot smokers, be sure to use a Canon camera with one of the big long white lenses that cost $7000 so you don't get lung cancer and the lens does not get fogged. Doug

How can anyone do this to a camera? How you ask? Because it's THEIR camera. They bought and paid for it and how they use and treat it is their choice just as how you use and treat your camera is your choice. Do you have a problem with free choice?
