Re: Sharper lenses

Thank God for small mercies: "calculated the efficacy with 500 rays, and the resulting average satisfaction for all examples was 99.99%. Which, of course, is great news for gear reviewers on YouTube, as they will still be able to argue about the 0.01% of sharpness difference

Sharper lenses

Mathematical discovery of a solution to spherical aberration. Mind you it does nothing for the other sorts of aberrations on PDML, but it's a start.

Re: Sharper lenses

I've googled "barracuda email" and it does appear to be a thing. I've also googled the same thing plus "scam" and there's nothing obvious that says it's a scam, other than that they seem like a protection racket, making money by frightening people. I haven't visited their site, but they claim

Typically, when this sort of situation arises, it's because some IT Kludgemonkey has decided to tweak a system setting with nary a thought about the consequences. Essentially, it closes a pipe and the flow of shit has to find a new path. It should clear up in a day or so. I mean, who could

Bizarre. I did do a copy to Bob, which may have done something to their algorithm. Or it may have been the extremely rude message I sent on their website's chatline. So I've copied LRC into this but my next one will fly solo and I'll see what happens. > On 06 July 2019 at 19:38 Larry

Thanks! A good article, well written. And for me, I was most pleased to see that the author dispelled the old myth that showering is the best way to relax and think great thought and make great discoveries. Breakfast with Nutella works as well. stan > On Jul 6, 2019, at 4:31 AM, Larry Colen
