Archived posting to the Leica Users Group, 1998/11/23
[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just wonder: how many people on the LUG would buy an automobile based upon how someone on the internet claims it performed on a dynamometer; and/or someone else's impressions of a lap or two around a track? Especially when these "experts" each claim that the other is wrong. Am I in the minority, in that I find more credibility in the aggregate hands-on experiences of a group of fellow photographers, and finally in my own ability to compare images on a light table?
