If you have a frame that works fine and you like, then that is brilliant. It’s worth what it’s worth to you.
For me, the big takeaway (based on what we have been told at face value) from the Hambini / Open debate wasn’t the quality of a single frame, but Opens response to the criticism.
Hambinis approach is what it is, but to come back and defend yourself by saying that they don’t build to a given standard and going legal immediately is quite bizarre. As a customer it would not fill me with any faith in them if I ever had an issue with their products.
If they had responded by saying “we haven’t seen this frame, we take things like this seriously, we are going to investigate this frame and the process by how it was released to the public” and then share the results of that process and their response, it puts them above reproach. Especially as they should be doing that anyway.
