I may be crazy but I like to see that hard used gear.
It's not that I like the abuse of equipment but just seeing that stuff kind of tells a story all by itself. I can only wonder how many pictures taken with those "trashed" lenses have graced the same magazines we love.
It's something like the way some people treat a Bible, I know many who treat it so "reverently" that it never sees the light of day and others who think nothing of marking all over it as they read and re-read it. The latter seem more interested in the content and use of the "tool".
I am one of those who also loved seeing tattered flags after 9/11 because you KNEW they were flying on 9/10 and before. Their wear to me does not represent disrespect for the flag but rather lasting patriatism.
O.K. I'll get down now.. The soap box is starting to buckle under my ever increasing weight.
My bible is well used. Part of one leg of a bookcase broke off some time ago, and the bible is propping the bookcase up. My sense is that if everyone use their bibles for such useful purposes, there'd be a lot less trouble in the world.

I wonder about the messed up lens hood; it must block the field of view. I also like the monopod - nice...
