Exactly! I have absolutely no tolerance for companies shipping schlock
when they are charging a premium for product marketed as a premium product.
I don't care who it is, when I encounter sub-standard high-priced products,
I will give the vendor or manufacturer no end to grief.
As to Canon's legendary soft wide-angles...to me, when they slap that "L" on
a lens, it should mean something. Obviously, what it meant was "idiots will
buy it because L-lenses are jewelry, therefore it doesn't matter if it works
correctly or not." I would rather that a manufacturer not have a lens on
the market if it isn't right.
After all, wasn't one of the big advantages to buying a Canon DSLR was the
extensive line up of EOS lenses? Too bad that all but a handful are
unusable...
But to be fair, every manufacturer--including Olympus--has duds.
