Ken Rockwell might be the most interesting reviewer I've come across in years. What he favours is well known (e.g. metal over plastic) but his opinions always feel honest and he's pretty pragmatic on what he recommends. Unlike most reviewers (across all review subjects) he provides a lot of technical data to the point where it feels like it's "ok" to form a different opinion from him, and that you don't have to write off his whole review. He doesn't tend to get stuck on one fault with a lens like many people do.
And his website is easy to read and navigate, which is rare for review sites.
- mafuyu 6y agoKen's site is great. I don't like his photographs and I often disagree with his opinions on gear, but he's very consistent and knowledgable. I always check to see if he has a review before I buy a new lens or body, especially if it's film.
- supernova87a 6y agoAre we talking about the same website? Maybe I'm too distracted by the formatting of the website. I find his pages to contain ridiculously large size photos that make the article hard to read. No tables or organization of information in a consistent way (or across lenses, cameras) that makes comparisons or reading easy. Very hard to tell if he's actually expert at something or his credibility. All of his observations are just qualitative (as is any typical amateur enthusiast camera website). I much prefer DPreview.com's reviews of cameras and lenses.
