Here's what Stephen Ingraham had to say...Just my little way of saying I don't give a %#@$. I'll have to assume from here on you are likely to read things literally.BTW, if you want any point you make to sound more credible, don't quote Ingraham. Even back in his heyday the man was mostly a chucklehead. He made a career out of contradicting himself.People's eyes/brains also vary in their sensitivity to pincushion, CA, brightness, color rendition, color saturation, edge sharpness, etc., etc.Right. I get a chuckle whenever someone around here declares, with conviction, the pinnacle of bino bliss has been attained!Yeah, I got the irony in the Kelvin quote in your signature Brock.Come to think of it, these responses of yours are sounding a little condescending.About Kelvin, he was an interesting mix of brilliance and arrogance and short sighted-ness.</blockquote>
