And credit is given. I am not a big fan of canonrumors but Roger C. allowed them to publish his articles, and they clearly state who and where they came from.

Where is the article on soft lens users?

(Someone else coined the term "soft users", btw.)

That would be me.

"There are more soft users than soft lenses." -- Monito (Alan Marr)

I first used it on Fred Miranda years ago, probably not too long after I joined.

Earliest usage I can find is 2007:

Ah! I see you are in that thread too!

Thank you all for the kind words.

I was an FM member long before there was Lensrentals. I actually remember when Alan first used that quote, I think because I was afraid he was describing me. But I learned enough hanging around here to turn my gearhead passions into the best job on the planet: I get to play with thousands of lenses and write about what I find out.
