Actually, yes, it is. Now you know, PLEASE don't do it again.

Targeted spam. One reason Google reduced the
number you can post to from 10 to 5, which IMO, is
still too many. I remember the pancake lens that
was sold about 15 years back, Pentax or Minolta,
I'm not sure which, but it SUCKED compared to a
decent 50mm full size lens, in terms of resolution
and contrast. It's sole purpose was to be slim
and it was inexpensive relative to standard 50mm
f1.4 lenses.

That is your opinion. I give as much weight to that as finding a telephone
pole and playing sit and spin.

Good for Google, as for the rest of it did you forget some meds?

That's why you performed the spam in the first place !

I have NEVER confronted a spammer who didn't think what they did wasn't spam. Those that
are confrontable are in denial. Those that can't be confronted know they spam, do it
anyway, and that's why they can't be confronted.

Telling in 4 newsgroup that something is on sale is SPAM.
One might be a mistake, two or more is SPAM.
It is quite obvious that your intention not was to SPAM,
and that talks well of you. But the result was SPAM.

It would be even better if you just admitted that you
made a mistake. Now it starts to get just embarrising
for you when you try to defend a lost cause.

Well, lets see what this lens performs like, and see how accurate
your ad copy was.

The pancake lenses were meant to be discrete street shooting lenses. Scenes
where absolute sharpness/contrast were not as important as the ipmact of the
scene. Shoot with fast, grainy, contrasty, pushed 400 B&W and who cares how
sharp the damned lens is?

Did I say "Cheers?"

Cheers,
Alan.
