The one thing that no one has touched on yet which amazes me, is the terrible waste of great picture taking time being used pounding the key boards over this absolutely asinine set of numbers by these photowhatever testers. Look, there's only one person worth his salt who tests lenses Erwin Puts! Any others are pretenders to the throne! Given Sandy and I have spent the past 7 hours printing and it's just past noon, I can only imagine how much film we could have shot having fun taking pictures for fun or our livelihood, while many of you have been diddling away your time trying to rationalize the logic's of this lens dodo thing. Heck most of you could've shot a few test rolls of your own by now, made prints and come to your own conclusions whether dodo is right or whatever. Guys, guys, it's far more important to be taking pictures and making interesting emotional images than head banging on this numbers crap. I apologize to those of you who are bigtime into numbers and that it makes a major difference as to which lens you buy or use, but I'm of a belief the majority here are "picture takers" not number counters! Numbers only mean something to some senior citizens, then there those who don't give a flying hoop! So on that note, go forth, make images this day and forever more. :-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
