Do you see lenses when you check the time?

[dewa]

Yes, 10:22,
Maybe it's a reminder to go prime

OP, maybe this will solve your 'problem' (or make it worse somehow):

  thanks, but... ye, erm... no thanks 

What do you mean by "looking at lenses?"  I don't get it, you can't see the "17-55" in the viewfinder, are you staring at the front of your lens for long periods of time?  I do get what you're saying, it's like playing tetris too long and then you see the shapes in your head when you try to sleep.  I just can't figure out what part of a lens would be fun to stare at long enough for this phenomenon to occur.  The only one that seems reasonable is through the viewfinder, but you don't see "17-55" there.  Do you happen to experiment with hallucinogens?

But to answer your question, no I've never in my life seen the name of a lens on my watch.  I have seen files and folders in my head while trying to go to sleep after a long day of transferring files over and over.

Hi, no, not experimenting with hallucinogens.  Also, no staring, no longer periods, and not even looking at or through lenses. I meant, that when you check the time, say on a smartphone, in the corner of your monitor while transferring those files... you will, for example, see 8:15am and it could remind you of the Canon 8-15mm that you might rather be out with taking pictures instead of transferring files.  And, in some countries we use 24h system so 4:35pm would be 16:35... 16-35mm L, etc.

Primes? Of course. Primes even work here in the US.

If one of the dogs gets up early I can see 5:00 on the alarm clock. Before I retired 5:00 PM was one of the best times of the day, now it's time to pull a bottle out of the wine refrig. and chill a white one or let a red warm a bit to serving temperature.

If I'm going out to shoot birds with my 500 I set the alarm for 5:00 AM. I dream about a 600 II.

I see you have it all figured out nicely
now you should buy the 600 II so you can sleep for another hour... though that's probably neither the causality, nor the best argument for such an investment 

But hey, as good as Stewbyyy's (his mind is telling him to get new UWA zoom after seeing 14:24 and 16:35 )... this is, at times, as a forum for anonymous lensaholics self help group (but that's a part of why I like this forum)

When I see 17:55 I see dinner time. 

Does the L on the lens mean lunch time?

I think I'll try sleeping in till noon (1200)

[Hobby Shooter]

Have you thought about professional help with this? (just joking...)
Do you find yourself counting how many steps from the front door to the car?
Do you sell clocks for a living?
Are you a Numerologist?
...or all of the above?

Hah! This thread is a hoot!

-PW

Is there anything wrong with counting steps? How about in stairs? It has to be an even number otherwise it's a poorly built house and might bring bad luck.

Well i only use primes so i dont think of zoomy "17-55" or such

based on your signature, 11:00 might still work for you
