Exactly my point. During the Eighties when I had a stint working at Michaels
in Melbourne, we meet up with all sorts of photographers - serious amateurs,
club users and working pros. No one brought lupes to look at negs or slides
or prints. No one check out at 100X magnification. These days teepee-revue
in my mind is sacriligeous in the way they have become overly obsessed with
over-engineered technicalities that are too sensational for normal readers
to even understand. And in the end, that's what people hype about. There are
actually BETTER and MORE PRACTICAL/PrAGMATIC reviews elsewhere that I
believe do a more realistic job at reviewing a camera.
