My comments never cover the emotional side of personal lens comparisons.
The 3,4 SA might be more pleasing to some observers, but I am not talking
of one person likes or dislikes. I try to state the facts as can be
measured and viewed by anyone. Subjective evaluations are quite important
and valuable in its own right, but do not mix up the two strands of
evaluation (methodology versus impression).
