Which enlarging lenses should I keep?

Sorry I asked.

Why, you had your answer by post #4 or so. The rest is gratuitous BS from people who would rather quote obscure theory rather than photograph.

Luis, you've summed up the forum well! Helpful but pedantic.

Photography has 2 sides, one side is technique and the other side is art and communication. A photographer may like one side, another one may like the other side, and also some people like both sides.

Reading posts that focus on technical matter is not mandatory.

I'd also add that BS wording normally comes from unpolited people, that suffered a substandard education, or grew in a dysfunctional family, or other... at least in my country.

I have 3 college degrees and have taught photography at the college level in this country. Sorry about your experiences in your country!

[Luis-F-S]

I had to be a BS college

were the professors saying BS all day long ?

Actually, BA, BS MS, PE.

[Pere Casals]

I answer you by PM.

I thought I would share your PM and let the forum decide for themselves:

Luis, it had to be a Bull Shit (BS) of MS, because people I know sporting master degrees are more polite, americains included

I don't if you like having the taste of bull shit in the mouth, but it has to be something like this.

No problem, it's up to you to behave as an educated person or if you prefer the gang band style.

Shit is related to a defecation, in biology this is not a problem, but a PE should know when to speak about defecations or not.

You first qualifiyed what others posted as bull shit (by posting "The rest is gratuitous BS from people who would rather quote obscure theory rather than photograph." http://www.largeformatphotography.in...=1#post1457281), so beyond your rude wording you have a remarkable lack of respect, someone had to tell you.

If you want to be respected, then start respecting other people.

This is not BS: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...=1#post1457255

And by qualifying that as BS you are qualifiying yourself as not deserving your degrees.

Yikes! I don't mind jousting with Bob, even if he knocks me off my horse, because he really knows his stuff and has a properly sharpened lance; but I could
do without spiked balls and chain-shot being allowed at a sporting event.

I think some folks brought a shotgun to a nerf gun fight.
