NO. It's not normal to agree to disagree when the concept of your post is in error to what I am stating. You claimed that different people have different finders, eyesight, etc. so the results will be different and what I am stating and have been stating is that the lenses themselves are different and the wider lens will always be harder to focus for ANY GIVEN situation, finder, eyesight etc. ( The only caveat, and I stated it right up front, is that we are talking about general purpose finders found in most SLRS, not special purpose ones optimized specifically for wide angles or telephotos.) Thats a fundamentally different thing and I am saying your wrong in the concept of that reply post of yours. Someone may think they just disagree but if their concept is invalid to my contention than thats another matter altogether and I won't just "let it drop" because it implies that your post is somehow a valid rebuttal/opinion when its not if it is irrelavant to my contention. jco

No one is missing your point. How could they possibly miss it? You've stated it numerous times. When that happens, normal people say something like: "We'll just have to agree to disagree, and then they let it go. You never, ever let it go. At some point you start using profanity to underscore your frustration. Make your point once, maybe twice, then let it go. That's how normal people behave in a public forum.
