I've made some mistakes checking up on a new lens of late.

Just curious so I created another poll.

I figure enough polls, someone will dance.

Oh, I have to cop to the 'other' category -- I had a 1.4 TC which needed a bit of cleaning.

If just a little film builds on that glass, man, it really hoses up results.

Improper testing techniques and non-standardized parameters measured against subjective standards.

I would have selected:

"Wife and kids have no respect for my wanting to test my new lens and won't give me a friggin rest so even when I do it right the test has no meaning because by the time I'm done I forget why I set up the test in the first place OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOMAN WHO CARES IF THE NEIGHBORS GOT A NEW CAR I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF MY NEW LENS... ...AH... ...I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS I WAS DOING WILL YOU STOP INTERRUPTING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!

I didn't see anything close to that one in the poll.

My son thought a strip mall was a strip bar.

He's 11 -- Just said that tonight.

The other day, he thought Bill Clinton was too old to be Hillary's father.
