Well, technically speaking all lenses are different. But this is not an interesting observation. We are not really interested in all differences, we\'re only interested in differences that matter. And herein lies the rub, of course, for different things matter to different people.
So when people say that \"there is no difference\" what they really mean is \"there is no difference that matters to me\" -- and that\'s a valid statement.
I\'m good with that ... to each his own.
Yet, they then try to argue that it shouldn\'t matter to me (et al) or that I should be compelled to prove to them the significance of the differences and/or why they matter to me and my fellow FM\'ers who it does matter to. Then, we take the time, effort and energy to share with them our observations, experience and knowledge, workmanship, etc. ... yet, they are \"Hell-bent\" on telling us we are all full of crap, and that it\'s all kool-aid and none of it matters.
If it doesn\'t matter to them ... why are they so staunch at getting in my/our business of understanding/appreciating/sharing the differences?
