Yes, I said the lens is more flare prone than SMC lenses. I have not run comparison tests, as I don't waste my time in that kind of things.
Well cripes almighty Carlos!
How can you get on your high horse and make a statment like that without making formal, scientific, error free tests.
Don't you realize that visual impressions gotten by long experience in the field don't mean shit around here?
Haven't you figured out that in order for a statement to be valid you have to test the equipment six ways from Sunday?
You just don't get it do you?
You have to test your equipment on a test bench, seek out every possible flaw in it and toss out anything that is less than perfect.
If you don't do it that way, you are just a hack photographer, and a dumb one at that.
Go back to shooting swimming pools and stop wasting our time here.
HAR!!!!!!! It's a joke.....
