Do you see lenses when you check the time?

[Stig]

Hi,

sometimes (maybe after looking on lens offers too much), when I check what time it is and I look at the numbers it reminds me of a lens, e.g., I looked at my phone and saw 17:55 so I thought of my EF-S 17-55mm... (quarter hour ago it was the 17-40mm WA zoom I want and an hour later it was my first 18-55mm kit lens)

Anybody else crazy in this way? (and how about after you read about it? )

By the way, I guess most of you use the 12h am/pm time so would only see UWA zooms like the sigma 8-16mm or canon 8-15mm, right?

When I see 17:55 I see dinner time.

I think you have a serious condition called "Lensitus" ;D ... I think almost all the members of Canon Rumors have that same condition ;D

My lenses don't tell military time, sir.

I know that feeling when I'm working 24:7(0) ;D

This made me laugh - thanks.

I haven't noticed it up to now but I'm sure I'll be seeing these numbers everywhere

No. Doesn't seem to happen to prime users with a mechanical watch... ;-)

 

[jerome2710]

Oh, yes! It makes me think of my 16-35 so often.

Whats military time?

 

[Stewbyyy]

I thought it was only me!

This happens multiple times a day The past week I keep seeing 14:24 and 16:35, makes me think my mind's trying to tell me to get an UWA

I think that is time expressed in four digit number based on 24h time reference... eg 6pm is (18:00 for most of European and other countries anyway) 1800 in military time... I think it saves some time, but mostly eliminates some misunderstanding (6am would be 0600)

This is turning a bit into a Who lives in US and who in EU thread

Same here

 

[thepancakeman]

I think I'll have bigger problems if I see 70:200 on the clock...

As someone who DID get through basic training, I see the smell of napalm in the morning.

I thought I was the only one! Even just seeing numbers that link up to making a lens model. A number i needed for school.. the first 4 digits were "2470" and well there you go! My favorite lens
