To quote another list member, "don't be ridiculous". It was hardly angry, and certainly not a rant. Please. > At least you'll know what is being spoken about. Thanks, I understand the issue, and the overall issue is separate from Irwin's comments. I know Robert's site well, in fact, I am referenced a number of times on it. The original post specifically mentioned Hasselblad. There is ONE vague comment in your reference, referencing Hasselblad, that 'some people' (unqualified) 'wait' for the film to settle after winding the film. The conclusion is pure speculation, since there is no reference to anyone actually measuring the effect of 'waiting', and mechanically, I find the assertion unwarranted. All I was asking for were facts, and clarification. I don't like to deal in speculation and the ethereal when claims like this are made.
