The pro does not denigrate others. He is able to rise above that and provide positive responses.

Hopefully the person referred to doesn't take it personally and get defensive about their purchasing decision. In fact he/she may have needed a wide-angle lens and simply not cared that much about the problems with the low-cost lens. Of course the real problem is that they got stuck with 4/3 in the first place and had to make that compromise. If they'd had a Canon APS-C EOS D-SLR they could have obtained a very high quality extreme wide-angle lens without spending $1200-1500. That's one of the problems when you commit to the wrong eco-system of D-SLR.

We do seem to have our share of ranters, both rank and seasoned. IAE, no one seems to be talking about the rank pro vs. seasoned amateur..... -- john mcwilliams

A typo, but maybe a Freudian slip, LOL. It can sometimes be a fine line when you explain to others something that they may not want to hear. If they're sensitive about having made a mistake they can respond defensively or in anger. You certainly see this often on rec.photo.digital. It's an attitude that I don't like, but I can accept the fact that there are times when I may not have bought the best product for the money, without being upset about it. > IAE, no one seems to be talking about the rank pro vs. seasoned > amateur..... The seasoned amateur does not own a 4:3 or micro 4:3 camera. |
