Those who can neither shoot nor review, become Ken Rockwell.

Where does the "hate" come from. Love him or hate him - Ken Rockwell was the original "influencer" 25 years before it even had a name. Ken Rockwell is an opined PITA - but ofen when one digs deeper one finds our - hey the dude was right although he was a jerk about it.

His site is a viable history of lenses and cameras. Looking for a great lens from the past you can pick up for a song - Ken Rockwell is your guy.

I've known guys like Rockwell in my past. I've worked with them and I've had a few work for me and I've even worked for a few. They are the "shock jocks" of the technical world and they do it for a reason. But he seems to still be going strong and his site has information not available otherwise and it's all there in one location.

He's not to everyone's taste but at the end of the day he doesn't try to be.

Oh I don't "hate" him. He's very informative and professional. Case in point:


If this is the kind of info you're into, then have at it.
