He is in hysterics.
Pentax 645D God, he's a f*ckwit. The great Ken Rockwell has given it the thumbs down! Oh noes! This is exactly what shits me about Ken.
I mean...god. I wonder if he needs psychiatric help. This man who knows what the pros want, which, as evidenced by the 500 words of begging on his front page. You know what, buddy, I'm wondering how many people are hoping that bill gets passed just to shut you the hell up.
You're such a good, "pro" photographer? Why not go out there and make some money, huh? Surely there are gallery owners beating down your door. Is not your answering machine overflowing with calls from Magnum, Time, National Geographic?
He's a hypocrite, a w*nker, and about the smuggest, pathetic, most self-righteous arsehole out there - a classic case of the Internet expert. And he's not a fifteen-year-old kid. He's a grown man, who's trying to support a (sadly growing) family by making money the way most single men living off ramen would balk at.
It's not criticising Pentax that gets me. Go ahead. There's a lot of stuff to bitch about, and even the 645D's not perfect. Hell no. It's just the way he says it - his opinion is fact, anything he can't/won't use is superfluous, he knows what pros want, yet, of course, spends pages drooling on about how his Canon P&S and Nikon D40 are the best cameras ever.
And we, apparently, owe him for all this. F*ck off and die, Kenny. I hope you have to hock all your Nikon gear to support your family.
