Ken Rockwell dismisses K-1 out of hand

Juerg · 02-23-2016, 05:05 AM

Ken Rockwell does not shoot raw...he prefers high saturated JPEGS out of cam,
therefore his opinion is irrelevant

That one is wayyyyyy bigger than the K-mount we are used to...

This kind of thread is of the same nature of Ken Rockwell evaluation: completely biased. I now wonder if we can ever trust camera and lens evaluations on this forum.

Just what is the definition of 'Large format' anyway?

A large amount of any forum's content will be based on opinion, which is by its very nature biased. I don't know about you, but I'd never fully trust any camera or lens evaluation - even on a great forum like this. I take multiple reviews from multiple sources, and look for general trends in what the reviewers say. That tends to smooth out individual bias to some extent. Even then, there have been occasions where my own findings don't match my expectations based on what I've read.

Boriscleto, didn't you mean to say: The Kardashian (tr)end is never ending.

You're slipping.

Kimmy comes in second ... your remarks echo my thoughts when I first saw pictures of that airship.
