Ted,

No doubt big lenses tend to attract crowds.  Rest assured the photographer
in question was being rude as he definatly was between shots.  I have on
occaision rented a big lens and received all sorts of questions regarding
my setup, and your very right - many questions were annoying.  My point was
that in this situation the photographer was set up in a confined space with
very large equipment, and to top it all off, he was rude.  To me that was
poor behavior and perhaps a good example of how some photographers may
think themselves above the rest simply because of their equipment -
snobbery IMHO.
