i am really sceptical about ken rockwell. he is sometimes a useful resource, but too often resorts to hyperbole.

there are people who understand what he would write. but there are newbies who misunderstand that he is sometimes just over-excitable and prone to exaggerate.

e.g., if bresson shot today, he would use a d40 with a 35/1.8.

edit: note lack of quote marks, just something that i remember off-the-cuff from his website from ages ago, which struck me as particularly annoying.
