Well, it's not fear, but basically, that would *I* recommend, yes.
Unless they live in a dictatorship, they're free to do so

Well-known
I would have thought so, too.

Hi,
99.9% of my lenses are second-hand and so may or may not perform as planned by the designers. The newish ones are good to excellent and the older ones are good to excellent. One of the excellent ones ended that way after being dropped and denting the filter ring. I guess it was nudged back to the original spec by the bashing it got...
Some of the excellent ones are excellent only at certain apertures but they date from the 70's. I've yet to discover one that is excellent regardless of how it is used and, as has been pointed out, there are just so many variables...
Regards, David
PS As for dirt cheap film, made in Japan, and we all suspect by Fuji; what does "cheap" mean? Nothing to do with quality, imo.
PPS Can't see the point about quality regarding pens and paper; Jane Austen used a quill; probably a duck feather trimmed as goose featers were expensive. And ink made from soot sold by chimney sweeps to the makers. Anyway, has her writing, style, plotting, originallity been exceeded by our Mont Blancs and so on?
