[Leica] Leica Trica

[Neil.Beddoe at raidllp.com (Neil Beddoe)]

I bought a second AIS 28mm f2.8 because he raved about it as the sharpest 
lens Nikon makes.  It's sharp but it isn't THE sharpest of course but I'm 
still glad I bought it because it vignettes like crazy and I like the look 
of the pictures.  

I look at his site because it's nice to get someone else to confirm that the 
lens I've just bought is good no matter how unscientific his opinion.

I had not read his site for years because of the way it is written and  
the extent to which he continually contradicts himself. I suspect he  
is quite young and was not backwards in coming forwards with his  
opinions as fact before he actually knows anything. The one think one  
never knows is how much one still has to learn...
I knew him as a Nikon evangelist, and did not realise he had seen the  
Leica light earlier this year. He still has a lot to learn for a guy  
who puts himself on the web as some sort of expert, and adds a begging  
paragraph to every page.
cheers,
Frank
PS I think the M9 may be my ultimate camera, but most SLR users will  
find fault, particularly the slow autofocus...
