> Not at all. I've seen their comments and rating on "all" paramenter which
BTW aren't many. I do not pick one parameter; like the rest of us I look at
the final image and have found out that CDI is so often way off the mark
that their tests aren't trustworthy. A good example is the FA* 85/1.4: by no
parameters is this a five star lens and it doesn't compare well to similar
A*. Its no coincidence that Pentax users are willing to pay more for a used
A* 85/1.4 than a new FA* 85/1.4. I count myself among those and I'm an auto
focus guy.
Well, it seems than I am not an usual Pentax user, then.
> I still have a question for you: why should we trust CDI and their test
when they more often than not are contradictory to Pentax users experience
and other tests?
Weird..It seems Photodo tests match with the CdI ones
>What is it that make CDI test better than anyone else including our own
experiences?
Not the best, but a reliable one
> Also, I still like to repeate that the infamous shutter test they
performed have proven beyond doubt that their "tests" are only for selling
magazines and that trustworthyness doesn't even enter the picture.
I am still having fun to read this kind of test
> ...and BTW The FA 43/1.9 Limited is "Amateur Photographer" magazine
reference lens beating the Carl Zeiss 50/1.4. This is more in accordance
with my experience.
I think the difference between you and I, is that you trust your own
experience which is true, but mostly for you. I prefer to use my favorite
lens without comparing to other lens. Why would I like to buy a Canon or
Nikon, as far as I use Pentax ??? I cuold affort to buy a 43mm because if
was sold new half of its price with the MZ-3. If I can have for a similar
discount a 50mm f/:1.4, I would be as happy ! (may be a little more)
