Sean Reid should be banned!

[jaapv]

Just consider what he did to me:
First he whets my GAS on LL. Then he creates such a good review site that I have to spend money to subscribe. Then, on that site he writes such a good M8 pre-review that he confirms my M8 lust. Then he writes such a very perceptive 21 mm lens review that, when Guy Manusco posts a link on FM to a BIN auction on the Bay, which turns out to be by our RFF sponsor SHPhoto.de it is impossible for me not to aquire a demo chrome Biogon 21. He will hear from my lawyers for damages!!!And he should be banned from the Internet!😀
Thanks Sean for pointing me to that lens 🙂

Anybody interested in an excellent Color Skopar 21??🙁

Oh man, I just bought a new 21 skopar 🙁 I think you just need to buy another body to go with your new 21 biogon, maybe the Zeiss Ikon SW.. :angel:

Thank heavens this is tongue in cheek. Given the last two bashings on the Leica forum I saw this post and thought, "Oh sh*t here we go again." Thanks.

Cheers,

Sean received a bashing? Another reason not to go over to the Leica forum but just lurk about and pull out the diamonds of info.

Hi Glen,

Bashing may be too strong a word. First a guy from the Netherlands who now lives in southern Germany and posts under a woman's name (Michaela) attacked me, Reid Reviews, the "Street Photography" article....all without having ever read the articles on the site. The moderator pulled it and warned him. Then a poster wondered aloud why such a poor photographer as myself should have an M8. This same photographer, coincidentally, claims to know that it really is "Seal" posting in the controversial "Golden Ticket" thread. It's an interesting coincidence because I realize some people aren't happy with me for describing that latter thread as a spoof.

Ah well, that's the way it goes. I have to call things as I see them. The actual Seal does indeed have loan of an M8 (unless he's returned it already) and our spoofer has worked that and other research into a spoof that I suspect has been a lot of fun for him.

Cheers,

Sean

Hey, are you going to do a review of the new viewfinder from Leica or have you already done one?

 

[sreidvt]

Yeah- I saw your trouble there. Sorry about this hair-raiser. But it is true your review saved me Leica-money here.🙂

Glad to hear it.

I'm going to try to review that at the same time that I review the Tri-Elmar.

Cheers,
