that \"guy\" you\'re referring to walked into a store and tried it at the counter. he also claimed his copy was \"SILENT\".
i\'d place about as much stock in his thoughts as the idiot who though the 85GM felt like it weighed about the same as the Batis.

owning both and having both in my hand at the same time, i can say that the Batis is noticeably faster in focusing, completely silent and feels like a feather in comparison to the 85GM.

i guess this is just the world we live in, so i suppose it shouldn\'t rile me up the way it does (i.e. people repeatedly re-posting crap from 1 forum to another - sadly most of our \"news\" organizations do just about the same).

in any case - that \"guy\" you\'re referring to walked into a store and tried it at the counter. he also claimed his copy was \"SILENT\".
