It's called a lens
Apr 18, 2015 10:23:19 #
One of my peeves (not a pet peeve) is when someone refers to a lens as "glass", like in this title from a recent topic, "Suggestions for Nikon FX glass for . . .". One UHHer I have seen will list his various cameras on the first line of the bio that appears whenever he posts something. On the second line he lists his "glass". To me a window is made of glass. I get a drink of water in a glass. That doohickey on the front of a camera is called a lens, not glass.
OK. I got that off my chest. Now we can get back to more serious matters.
P.S. To the person whose topic that was I referred to, I have no suggestions for "glass" for your Nikon FX.

Add another "pet-peeve" to you own list. A "window" is a hole in a wall through which light is allowed to pass. Ever heard of an "open window"?

I sometimes refer to my lenses as glass. Anyone who doesn't like it is free to ignore it!

Ed, I'll bet you call your wife ma'am don't you!!! :lol:
When I strip all the non-essentials off my lenses all I have left over is GLASS, and lots of it!
Get over it........
I'm sure you also don't use bokeh either.
Dude, is glass just a bit too rad, dude?! :lol:

I just made what I thought was an obscure remark. I didn't think so many people would get pissed off about it. I'm surprised anybody commented at all. But I should have known better. This is Ugly Hedgehog and nobody is supposed to have . . . oh, never mind. This is why I keep telling myself, "don't comment about anything on the Ugly Hedgehog website."

Although personally I don't really use the term, "glass" when referring to a lens, I certainly don't mind when others do. I don't see what the big deal is anyway - the term has been used for decades, particularly among serious photographers. Obviously they are not talking about a toy camera with an inexpensive all-plastic lens.

Ed, I don't think anyone is angry with you, it just seems a rather trite thing to post about. We all have different thoughts about the terms others use, but most choose not to fret over it. Most folks here try to make helpful comments (I even do so upon occasion, myself!), and there is a wealth of information shared on UHH. Have a great day!

I know what you mean. It's like it's insider "coolspeak." :D
Another peeve is referring to a wheel on a car as a rim. Like the glass in a lens, the rim is only part of a wheel. When not call a wheel a wheel?
