How many photographers does it take to change a lightbulb?

Yes, I know there are thousands of ‘how many … does it take to change a lightbulb’ jokes out there.  But after reading a posting of the famous ‘how many forum users does it take to change a lightbulb’ joke on a photography forum lines for the photographers version started running through my head.

5 to tell him that only professionals should change lightbulbs and not to change lightbulbs for friends.

3 to say that their friends change their lightbulb and it came out ok

15 to say that former friends changed theirs and they’re no longer friends

4 to say the new bulb is too blue

8 to say that no, it’s too red

6 that say the color’s fine, but the new bulb is too soft

1 to ask if it’s ok to use the cheapest bulb

25 to say, no, you can only call yourself a light bulb changer if you have the most expensive bulb

13 to say that it’s the light bulb changer, not the bulb

5 to say that they saw their first lightbulb today and ask how to become a professional bulb changer

3 to complain about artifacts in the new bulb

2 to defend the artifacts saying that it’s just because of resizing the bulb for the socket

10 to ask about rumors of new bulbs coming out from GE within the next 5 years

28 to ask if they should buy a bulb today or wait for GE to come out with lightbulb Mark II

And 3 to chime in and say that the two big players, GE & Phillips, don’t make the best light bulbs.  Sylvania does.
