Oh, and I've been learning English since the early seventies.

Yes, and Frederick Forsythe's books probably were very helpful. I've read a couple (not including TDotJ) and think that he's overrated, almost a hack of a writer of suspense novels. But they were is more recent novels, so perhaps he became bored as he aged.

As opposed to becoming 'boring'.

I supplied the "cause". You supplied the implied "effect". This demonstrates that you sometimes do have a clue.

The samples are suspect, and whether you are able to understand that or not is your problem, not ours.

'Might' be my problem or is 'probably' my problem? See above.

Both are correct. English is like that, you know.

Yes I do know, and you are wrong.

But here you've lost the plot and it's back to 'no clue' for you.

In your case though, you probably don't.

Why shouldn't I.

Putting the context back makes it easier to see :

Why shouldn't I.

This shows that you're convinced that not fully understanding the English language is somehow a virtue. It's understandable as an excuse, but not anything to be proud of.

Some of DPR's NX Studio Sample photos contained in their NX review were also suspect and I said so at the time that they were initially posted. DPR first denied that, giving all sorts of reasons why they were perfectly fine when the samples showed that the NX200 produced some really awful images. DPR eventually capitulated and re-shot the samples using a 60mm NX lens instead of the manual focus Pentax 50mm lens that was originally used. The new NX sample photos were vastly superior, with DPR admitting that they produced higher resolution than the NEX7's images. This wasn't the fault of the otherwise excellent NEX7. It was due to the lower quality NEX lens that was used to shoot its Studio images. It would probably have been much worse if DPR used the same Pentax lens on the NEX7 for the Studio sample images.

Don't know why you're mentioning this, can't use a different lens on the EX2.

Yet another demonstration of cluelessness or missing the point. It's not about interchangeable lenses, but about the fact that anyone, even trusted, reliable sources can sometimes post suspect images. In DPR's case, the original, full resolution images could be downloaded and they contained full EXIF data, which is how I determined that the aperture stated wasn't actually used, since the MF lens mounted with an adapter doesn't provide aperture information, but it could be inferred by knowing the shutter speed, the ISO used, and comparing it with other samples shot using different ISO values. The EX2f sample came with no source, no EXIF data, and were multi-shot crop composites that almost any fanboy could have kludged in minutes.

I was being flippant. Sense of humour override?

No, this is flippant :

adj. 1. Marked by disrespectful levity or casualness;

If you wanted to toss off a 'flip' remark you'd need to make it at least slightly obvious. Writing :

Don't know why you're mentioning this, can't use a different lens on the EX2.

shows no sign of being a flippant remark. If that was your intent, as opposed to being a face saving remark based on 20/20 hindsight, you again show that you haven't yet mastered English. Even tagging that line with a sometimes overdone smiley would have indicated a possible lack of seriousness. Fail.

I'm not sure why you bothered with your reply since an hour ago you wrote :

I'm now going to foxtrot oscar because life is too short.

Now would be a good time to start doing a Foxtrot. The Lindy (Hop) is a lot more fun though.
