Ken is a bit hyperbolic, and his views are often a bit out of touch, but I'm still glad his website exists, for several reasons.
- His product photography is top notch, and a valuable resource for me in checking out new gear in glorious detail.
- His "reviews" have info that I can easily glean, that I cannot get in a consistent manner anywhere else. # of aperture blades, consistent flare, sunstar, macro testing, etc.
- He is obviously passionate about what he does, and I can't fault a man for that. Whether his views agree with mine are irrelevant. \
- The target audience for his blog is not you or me, it is for the average consumer. When viewed in this light, his "reviews" make a little more sense.
All that being said though, I will readily agree that his skill is lacking and his views on photography to be head scratching very often. I cringe at the photos he produces, all crunched through Perfectly Clear and totally destroyed.
Also, I'm new to the forum! Hello!
