Yes, but you wouldn't be pointing the lens at them, so the couldn't give a flying hoot what you're up to. > Large lenses attract attention.

Well, since you don't seem to care about quality, and are happy with things that will fill your computer screen, you may just as crop like hell. Shoot super wide angle and figure out later on what part of the photo you really need. Just give it up, Anthony. Give up photography. It's not for you; it's too problematic. It raises more difficulties for you, than you'll even find joy in it. Maybe you should take up swimming. Ah, but no you might drown. Hiking? No, you could fall. Cycling? Ouch, that's way more dangerous even. God forbid you might go traveling! The dangers that loom there are simply beyond description. The French cuisine could blow up off the stove into your face, and you might puncture your finger and die of an unknown infection if you take up needlework. You're hopeless untill you get help from a shrink. Bernard.
