At an opening ceremony of a major kids soccer event once I asked a lady to hold an M and 21 Asph while I changed lenses on another. She asked, "What's this worth?" I saw her fingers wrap around it when I told her. I've allowed my 4 year old daughter to carry my 280/2.8 for short distances (over soft ground!). It makes her feel special and trusted. Rick.
