Is this supposed to be a joke? I've already linked to Fred's comparison of the 50mm Summilux and the 50mm Simera twice, which, according to philip_pj, reflect completely opposite approaches to lens design, and neither you nor your friend philip_pj have responded. He just keeps selling the same fantasies as facts. If it weren't so annoying, you could laugh about it.

What do you call that rhetorical trick when you put words into someone else's mouth that they never said and then contradict them? Who says there are no differences? Nobody. It's about the absurd exaggeration of differences and the bizarre praise of one's favorite brand with the help of marketing statements repeated hundreds of times that are already pouring out of one's ears.
