Does anyone have a good explanation as to why some people refer to their lenses as 'copies'? I've asked around and can't seem to get a good answer. Usually a copy means that it's not the original, like if you went and bought an Ansel Adams print, that would be a copy. But you wouldn't say you bought a copy of a bookcase, or a copy of a Chevy.
It's just interesting to me. Actually, the first couple times I saw it being used I thought the people meant that they had replicas or fakes of the lens. And it only seems to be used to describe lenses. People don't talk about bodies being copies, or filters, or tripods, or anything else. Us photographers are a strange bunch :ROFLOL:
