It is just a case of being careful and unbiased in the way we may echo their findings. BTW, the head editorial by Guy-Michel Cogne in the latest issue refers to the tendency we may have to embellish their conclusions when it suits us: "les utilisateurs n'aiment pas lire des choses desagreables sur les produits qu'ils ont choisis", and "nous sommes parfois surpris d'entendre, lors de discussions avec nos Lecteurs, la facon dont certains de nos tests sont decodes". It is all very human after all. Not implying it was your intention or that your intention was to manipulate the truth. Sorry if that is what came accross from my post. So i'm really looking forward to reading your summary of the 50mm f1.4 and 180mm f2.8 apo tests. Should be soon, I think.... Hey, the sun is suddenly coming out, here in Brussels ! It is just about time :-(
