I had posted on the lug a short while back a very carefully researched post on the various versions of this lens which ones where bad and which were good which was very well received. I certainly don't give a damn, Sir what you think of me I'm not the subject of this thread. As far as I knew we were not in the grade school playground a place where you were obviously kicked around on a regular basis and have never gotten over it. The internet is a perfect place people who have had bad luck with direct confrontations.
