You've said it's a dog, and people nod and acknowledge you think it's a substandard lens. On the other hand, when Christian says it's a great lens but he wouldn't pay more than $30 dollars, he just means it's a good lens that is not physically worth that much (just like one wouldn't pay $30 for a good peanut). You did not show a disagreement with his opinion, but made it personal. Your method of dialogue hasn't left any leeway for discussion, nor does it foster the environment for it. I can understand Frank's frustration, and wasn't nice to witness, because Frank is one of the most pleasant, neutral people on this list. I don't have any quarrel with you, but recommend that sometimes, take a step back before you make yourself feel better by trying to make someone else feel worse. The quarrel is with the photographic conditions, not with the subject in your viewfinder. Cheers, Ryan
