This is Carlos, my Canon 1000D. This picture's taken using my cellphone camera.I am using a DSLR, but I'm not a photographer. I don't have any photography portfolio like Wana Darma, nor equip my camera with cool and expensive accessories like Rusdy Razak. And I don't do the so-called "photo hunting"--the word frightens me, like I can't go home unless I got some good pictures.
It's usual for photographers to lend each other cameras and lenses, but--I'm gonna say this again--I'm not a photographer! Or not yet! So I'm begging not to treat me like one.
"Sa, aku mau pinjem kamera yah" is the most bothering request ever. Not that I don't trust my photographer friends who know a lot more about cameras, lenses, and photography, but what if something happens? Like if the autofocus's suddenly not working or the LCD cracked, or your friends brought some "compliments" like scratch or undesired smell when he/she returns the camera.
I don't like the idea of letting my camera out of my sight. It sucks not having control of your belongings' quality. Maybe some of you think "Ya elah 1000D aja cerewet banget. DSLR murmer sejuta umat. Kalo kameralo 50D tuh baru...", but for me, Carlos is precious and important. And I have a responsibility to take a good care of my belongings. So I am not lending my camera unless I'm coming along.
I'm being stingy? Well feel free to call me anything. In my point of view, I'm just being responsible to my parents who bought me Carlos, and I believe everyone has the right to lend their cameras or not, and we should respect that.

ReplyDeleteyap, tiap orang punya prinsip masing2 mba dalam memperlakukan barang kesayangannya :)
ReplyDeletebtw aku sama temen2 aku malah pinjem2an kamera dan lensa kayak pinjem2an buku. karena kita tau kalo saling membutuhkan dan ga mampu beli semuanya sekaligus.. hehehehe *fotografer ga modal nih aku ceritanya*
