So what’s the point of your post, just to demonstrate you have little tolorance, to brag about how much you know, or maybe you just wanted wanted to vent your arrogance and elitism?
Help when you can and shut up if you don’t have anything positive to say.
It’s not what you say but how you say it!!!
Thank you

Yep. I must be an elitist. Or, perhaps I may have read one of those that finally blew my mind. Remember, I said it was a rant. In other words, tongue-in-cheek. Think about it. It is kind of funny that there are so many posts from people asking that exact same thing. In a lot of these posts, the OP usually lists a few lenses that they may have while asking this question. Even kit lenses cost more than just a few dollars. One would think that a person that owns a camera with interchangeable lenses would figure out either from reading or usage, what a particular lens will do and what that lens is capable of. Just common sense. No arrogance involved with that.
And nope, I don't know that much either. Just today, I read through my owners manual and a book dedicated toward my particular model of camera for a particular subject but to no avail. I even Googled the subject. Still no luck. Therefore, I will have to recreate my problem and figure out a solution on my own. Kind of like putting a certain lens on my camera to see what it can, and can not do.
I was simply writing down my thoughts about what I have been reading and injected an opinion. I never said I was right. Again, it was just a rant. I wasn't being negative. Being negative would be for me to answer on a direct thread about which lens to use with a snide remark, which, as you know, goes on here on a daily basis.
Now then, I can understand if some one (such as a beginner) who had just purchased a camera with a few lenses and was asking the "which lens" question, but I have a funny feeling that most of these folks asking have had their equipment for awhile. Perhaps I am wrong. Who knows? Who cares?
What I find real funny is that you jumped all over me for something I wrote in jest. That's tolerance for ya! I also find it humorous that I was put on a guys ignore list when I haven't even posted a response on any of his threads. Now that is funny!
Oh, and why should I shut up because I voice an opinion that goes against yours" That is un-American.
Remember, tolerance.
