That's something I find really annoying about rec.photo.equipment.35mm - 90% of the people answering questions about *any* equipment have no hands on experiences with it. There's just "I've heard that..." or "such-and-such test reported..." and every possible variation on these themes. >Most online forums that I have seen tend to be first and foremost about >beating up on the other guy, be it his choice of car or camera or pants >or stereo. One reason I have stuck around on PDML is that the >overwhelming majority of what goes through here is NOT about that. I second this thought. Except for a couple of obnoxious types who've made into my kill file, the PDML is populated almost entirely of fine, helpful people.
