Just another reason not to trust anyone on the internet.
By the way, a word of advice to anyone foolish enough to think of purchasing any of these lenses... they are all of extremely poor quality and would not be worth using for anything more than target practice. Taking pictures with any of them... what a joke!
Hi Ken,
Petr is a nice person, I wouldn't be too hard on the motives. Everyone can't afford "Pro", and in many places people feel fortunate to find affordable lenses of any type. Less than best can sometimes render aesthetics which are pleasing, especially when used by those who have a better artistic eye than I. How else can we explain the popularity of Holga plastic cameras?
It's easy to understand your mistrust, but Petr seemed sincere in his "thanks". He's been on Pbase for some time now, and has galleries which I've often enjoyed browsing. Perhaps in this case, "you're welcome" might be a better response. You were good to give the ID's, hope you'll consider continuing your help. Don't let the bad apples spoil the bunch.
