Re: Sharper lenses

[Doug Brewer]

Typically, when this sort of situation arises, it's because some IT 
Kludgemonkey has decided to tweak a system setting with nary a thought 
about the consequences. Essentially, it closes a pipe and the flow of 
shit has to find a new path.


It should clear up in a day or so.

I mean, who could take a dislike to Mike?

Might be worth emailing Doug separately in case he isn't breathlessly hanging

I've googled "barracuda email" and it does appear to be a thing. I've also 
googled the same thing plus "scam" and there's nothing obvious that says it's a 
scam, other than that they seem like a protection racket, making money by 
frightening people. I haven't visited their site, but they claim to protect 
against scams. Your issue might still be a criminal scam of some sort, hidden

I had the uncharacteristically generous thought that it might be badly (and 
possibly incompletely) translated. Still, it seems only that someone has 
characterised the formula for construction of a secondary aspherical element to 
further reduce SA. I find it difficult to believe that a) none of the lens 
manufacturers' designers haven't done this already and b) it will make a 
substantial difference to sharpness in the real world.

Bizarre.  I did do a copy to Bob, which may have done something to their 
algorithm.  Or it may have been the extremely rude message I sent on their 
website's chatline.

So I've copied LRC into this but my next one will fly solo and I'll see what

Interesting scam, because you did seem to succeed in writing to PDML.

The most important feature is always a big heap of wood or tyres in
front of the factory, burning a large and deep pothole into the road
surface to remind us all for years to come.

I've been working on a photo series of such places for a number of
years. Still looking for an appropriate title. Something including the
word 'ritual'.

A natural mistake. We all know it’s the predigested form of Soylent Green, for

The French love to strike, as do the Italians and the Greeks.  I have had

It's PetaPixel, two sentences in and I want to take an ax to the

Re: Sharper lenses

[Bob Pdml]

Thank God for small mercies:

"calculated the efficacy with 500 rays, and the resulting average satisfaction 
for all examples was 99.99%. Which, of course, is great news for gear 
reviewers on YouTube, as they will still be able to argue about the 
0.01% of sharpness difference among lens brands."
