Carsten, It was a major achievement when "Sulfur" was accepted as the standard spelling. :ROTFL:Vivek appears to favour the American spelling, even though properly-spelling Canadians liberated Holland.
I wish that when the Americans took on the task of cleaning up the English language, they had actually finished the job, instead of just poking at it. I mean, who changes "rumour" to "rumor", but leaves the spelling of "laugh"???
Since we're off topic here ... I'll add some more. :salute:Vivek appears to favour the American spelling, even though properly-spelling Canadians liberated Holland.

That in itself is a bastardisation!I conscientiously refuse to consider the bastardization of the language
I remember reading in that delightful book about words whose meanings were reversed over time. A Shakespearean-era letter was quoted to start as: "You wrote me a nice and scolding letter", where 'scolding' evidently had a positive meaning.Since we're off topic here ... I'll add some more. :salute:
I recommend all folks interested in the American/English discussion take a read of "Mother Tongue' by Bill Bryson. The state of the language will make sense from that ...
Folks might enjoy this site ...
All becomes clear - you were all sorted before.Besides it is all Ben Johnson's fault for writing the first dictionary, before that there were many ways to spell words.
Yea he screwed me up royally.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
I've just had a proper look: what am I supposed to see for £2k?ugly ugly bokeh... that flower pic really should have been deleted.
Actually, it's only £1.3K (quite enough I hear you say). Bokeh is tough though. I've seen something quite as nasty from the mythical version IV 35 'cron.I've just had a proper look: what am I supposed to see for £2k?
And, in NornIrlnd, they would say that the bokeh of the flower is 'boke' or 'bokey'.
Cheap at twice the price...NOT.Actually, it's only £1.3K
i've seen something that nasty from just about every lens i own at one time or another, so, yeah, it happens... (btw, the v.1 is the king for me!)Actually, it's only £1.3K (quite enough I hear you say). Bokeh is tough though. I've seen something quite as nasty from the mythical version IV 35 'cron.
More evidence required (well, I think so anyway!).
I think more than a few here have the "talent" and ability to look at a group of images and realize there are a few issues with them. I was not impressed by those images either, yet you can find people gushing over them in this and other forums. Different strokes I suppose.So, based on two dozen images on a single test site, you have found the truth about this little camera and its Emperor's clothes. That is quite an amazing talent when most people, including pros, generally judge that they need to work with a lens for weeks, if not months, to really find something out about the character of a lens. Perhaps you can teach everyone else here to be so clever too.
