Sorry for this off-topic post but I just wanted to comment on a letter
fellow List member and frequent contributor (who I've sure learned a thing
or two from) Peter Kotsinadelis sent to Popular Photography concerning a
proposed comparison of various manufactures' lens motors in relation to
their respective AF speed.  The letter appeared in the current September
issue and was nicely articulated with a straight forward suggestion that Pop
Photo may want to do such a test at some point.

The response was something else.  I don't know who at Pop Photo answers
letters readers send in, but I was certainly taken back by the acrimonious
and abrupt reply.  And on top of that, it seem to completely miss the thrust
of Peter's genuinely good proposal.  I know that Pop Photo is clearly not of
the caliber a publication such as UK's EOS Magazine is, but this served to
further underscore their stature as a magazine of obvious limitations.

Peter, your letter and proposal of an interesting AF speed test was right on
target, while the reply seemed strangely incongruent.
