>>255074 Eh, Rockwell's OK, as long as you keep in mind exactly what he's doing with all his equipment. He's primarily a landscape photographer, so his concerns tend to revolve around perfect color reproduction and sharpness, and weight for lugging stuff around. He also doesn't shoot anything that moves particularly fast, if at all.
I agree with him on a lot of points, but some things have pissed me off as well. I've got the AF-D 24-85 F/2.8, which he HATES, but I've never seen any of the lack of sharpness he complains about, I don't mind the weight considering the low-light performance, and I love the fact that, unlike many of the DX and G lenses he prefers, I can put it on anything from my FM to my D2X and have it work flawlessly. I also like how solid it feels, and, on a front that he doesn't ever address, it's convenient that it looks so professional, as it makes subjects feel a little less like they're being photographed by some weirdo, which is especially useful when I do events.
