Haven't had that happen yet, but I certainly get strange looks when I start winding the key on the 8mm camera or put a camera with bellows and ground glass on a tripod.
One of the guys from my local camera club actually had a bystander call the cops when he was setting up an 11x14 plate camera, thinking it was some kind of weapon. :roll:
People say "Look at that old projector" when I show films.
