If you were paying close attention, you would have noticed that my responses were in direct proportion to The Defenders denials and personal attacks. Last week, I sent a complaint about this to the powers that be, but they didn't respond nor do anything about it,. so this week, I felt I had no choice but to defend my honor.
Even if I can't read their posts unless someone replies to them, if they only replied to each other that would be better, although others would still get to see their nasty comments, and that peeves me. Plus, I'm outnumbered so each return volley has to hit multiple targets like a MERV. If the return fire seems disproportional, that's why.
You know, I actually do like Swaro bins, my second favorite brand, in fact, they are just priced too high for my budget (and I think simply priced too high), but given the company's unofficial No Fault Policy, I would buy one if I ever found a sweet deal and my pig's feet jars were full, though more likely an SLC than EL.
I don't like wonky focusers on any bin, no matter what the price point or stiff ones or ones that turn too fast. Last week I was using three Nikon bins - M5, P7 and SE - and the focuser tension and speed on all were right in "my zone."
Except for the SE, the other two are inexpensive bins, and yet Nikon still was able to make the focusers w/out flaws. Why can't Swaro? Why isn't anybody else asking that question? Why isn't Swaro being proactive about this issue the way they were with the RB, which even the latest Defender recruit acknowledged.
That's all I'm saying, or at least that's all I would be saying if I weren't besieged by hostile forces. My beef isn't with Swaro, it's with the handful of Swaro owners who See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil about their brand (and their new recruits).
It's a big mystery why some Swaro focusers work fine and others don't. They all have the same mechanisms, so what's different from sample to sample? These are legitimate questions, which I've tried to ask rationally, but I keep getting caught up in the drama that others create in their relentless blind allegiance to their brand, which they closely identify with, like Arthur said. So to them, an attack on their brand, is an attack on them. It's also my fault for foolishly taking the bait.
Well, since nobody that has any authority will stop them, and now I have even you complaining about it, I will bid you adieu and start posting on 24hrcampfire where I'm revered. :flyaway:
And here they come again, trumpets a' blastin'...
