But your assuming that Bills experiment was conducted properly and his conclusions correct. I say it wasn't a correct conclusion and even he stated "little or no difference". Well if there was a "little" difference, then it supports MY contention, not his or yours. jco

Bill is using the "personal experience" argument. Conduct an experiment and evaluate the results. This is very different from the "personal opinion" argument. Granted, Bill is evaluating his experience subjectively and it is only based on his experience, but JCO made a blanket statement that "ALL people can focus long lenses easier than short lenses (at a given f-stop)." So the argument has turned into one or two people's experience that show otherwise and JCO's blanket statement which, without his own evaluation (he doesn't need to prove anything to us with experience), is just his opinion. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
