Sometimes Ken Rockwell can hit the nail right on its pumpkin head.

His categorisation is amusing and not without a grain of truth - but his prose style is intolerable!

IMO he turns his thoughts into words in the same way he turns his photographs into images: turn everything up to 11 and nuance be damned, saturation is everything. It’s not to my taste…

I've even seen presets named 'Rockwell', you can't unsee them. To be fair his lens reviews are very detailed and I do find them useful if I want to check an unknown (to me) lens out. He also does a great job of stereo-typing the American persona to us none Americans. A British equivalent stereotype would be a monocle wearing toff dressed in Tweed, with hideous teeth, verbosely pontificating about the merits of the latest Leica whilst sloshing a glass of port about, most of us aren't like that either.

Well, I guess I'm canceling my UK trip.
