Ooooh, I bet I got some people's attention with that title :-)

While reading his site, I came across a couple of very interesting quotes. Here's one.

While speaking about 35mm, he writes

"Canon and Nikon compete heavily here. They are essentially similar, which is why sillier people waste so much time arguing which is better. I use Nikon, but if I had to start over I'd just as likely go Canon. Nikon has a superior metering system which I find very important, while Canon has many reasonably priced lenses with useful features for manual focus control of AF lenses, images stabilization to free you from having to haul around a tripod and great AF performance. You just can't get many of these features from Nikon, and when you do they come with four-figure price tags"

I also found a quote on his site where he calls himself an Idiot.

His writing is rather entertaining to me. It contains a mix of bad info, fabulous insights, straight-shooting truths and a built-in bias that takes a while to figure out. I'm not speaking of his Nikon bias either.

You realize his site is a joke right? He says that on the same page where he calls himself an idiot iirc. He must get a huge laugh out of all the insanity his writing starts up.
