I take what Klaus says with a bolder of salt. His reviews of lenses I
have are often at odds with my experience. He worships at the alter of
newness while disparaging the old. The FA 20-35mm f4 is a case in point
his conclusions dismiss it due to it's "old" design and lack of zoom
range. He finds the SMC Pentax 135 f 2.5 to unworthy because it's not a
new design, though by his own tests it gives superior results if you use
it properly. He even occasionally misidentifies sensor bloom as CA.
True, he's better than Ken Rockwell but then who isn't?
