    AP test short comings...

    OK so in modern times, coatings are used to keep flare under control, its a given, but in testing, I expect the performance to be honestly reported...some coatings are bound to be better than others. AP is normally very good at getting these basics right...

    So why oh why could they get it so badly WRONG on page 13 of this weeks suplement??? There he is bold as brass... a fully coated Sibley, but cut of at the knees. How the hell are we supposed to gauge the impact of the coating on flare control.

    Apologies. Mr Sibley was sporting 'boot cut' at the time. I trust this rapid clarification... errr? Clarifies matters.

    Should we move this to feedback...?

    Looks more like a flipping expensive jacket, at that price I'd be more likely to opt for a North Face

    That's file dimension. File size is the actual 'k' of the document

    Surely it's a dimension of the image rather than the file?

    I know that even if I am a Luddite, just usually 600 pix, longest side is less then 100kb so never bother to check! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
