Louddog, my point exactly. At the end of the day it all comes down to honesty, some companies are more honest than others. I do resent being taken for granted by all of them, it seems that canon are one of the worst of the bunch. RGO, the 50mm f1.8 is probably about the most honestly priced lense they produce, mainly because it is the simplest design, probably costs them a few dollars/pounds to produce but it does produce quality pictures. In the 21st century when companies use CAD to design lenses and use precision machinery to mass produce them there should be no such thing as a poor quality lense, Nikon have proved this with their kit lense and they are still making a healthy profit. I would also recommend the Cosina 100mm Macro, as it also produces pin sharp pictures even though it sounds like a cement mixer. I would be interested in hearing from other people who have found honest optics out there, maybe we can start a list/database and give the Canon's of the world a kick up the backside. |
