However, never one to duck a direct question, I'll give you a direct answer: no, I do not own any mFT equipment. And? I mean, does that have any bearing on the veracity of my comments?

In a way, yes. Because if you would have owned and worked with an MFT camera, you'd learn with the time that, depending on what you do and your priorities, a 75mm f/1.8 does sometimes behave like a 150mm f/1.8. That is tha magic of MFT.

Dammit! I always forget to figure in the "magic".

With 17,179 posts I'd surprised if you had remembered. Face it your hobby isn't photography - it's argueing about gear on the internet! A laudabile hobby to be sure - but own it and be proud.

No, photography isn't my hobby at all:

After all, one can only do photography or understand the technical, right? Way too much to ask of any one person do have both a technical understanding and an artistic interest.

Understanding = good thing.

Constantly beating a single issue drum for thousands of posts on an internet forum is just some sort of ego trip for you and boring for the rest of us..

If more people were aware of how these things actually work it, GB wouldn't have to spend time informing them about the matter. In pretty much every thread of this kind, I find some people like you, complaining that they are bored with it. In pretty much every thread of this kind (this one included), I also find people who appreciate his explanation and learn from them.

For people belonging to the former category, like you, there is a simple solution: Just don't read posts that you find boring. Instead, read and post on matters you find interesting and stop pestering others with posts about how bored you are since that's truly boring for everyone.

I'm glad there are people who take their time to share their knowledge with us. Would it be better if they kept it for themselves? GB and AW do many posts here, and they are often very informative if you have the slihgtest interest for the technology behind photography. It has helped me a lot to undestand what I'm doing when I press the shutter on my digitsl cam. And I've been shooting since 1952 or so. There is always something new to learn, don't reject knowledge!

I appreciate that. Isn't it interesting that Anders, an mFT shooter and avid fan of mFT, and me, a FF shooter and avid fan of FF (although I feel that the vast majority would be far better served with mFT than FF), see eye-to-eye on things when so many ignorant people just jump in for nasty swipes?

iAy, pués! That's the internet for you!
