Re: I had nothing better to do this morning...
I really didn't think I was making him into a mystery. He has a big enough following, and was called RiceWhine by enough people that I was sure a google search would easily clear up any mystery and I wouldn't have to directly drive up his hit count. Now lets get this straight. I have a lot of crappy opinions, which I'm not afraid to share. Often off the cuff with no thought behind them, though some of the crappier opinions in some people's estamation, actually have a lot of thought behind them, I don't however feel that my drivel deserves a website and I'd be embarrassed if I attracted a following that hung on my every word. Geez get a life people. Once again, I wasn't trying to make the guy a mystery. I thought that everyone here, having actually found this place on the internet, it being more virtual than most, would have run into RiceH*** self described measurebater, and self described Pentax fan, and known he has called RiceWhine quite a lot four or so years ago. Unlike Kennyboy's nickname I can't claim to have made that one up. On 5/31/2012 3:16 AM, Tim Øsleby wrote: Why turn this guy into a mystery? He is just another sociopat with internet connection.

Re: I had nothing better to do this morning...
Well, I'm not among his fans, but will observe that (1) RiceWhine waits until he has a camera in hand before reviewing it, and (2) he is willing--even eager--to criticize Pentax, while Kennyboy thinks Nikon can do no wrong.

Re: I had nothing better to do this morning...
RiceWhine isn't a Pentax Fan, he's just the opposite. Even his favorable reviews are full of snark. More importantly his math sucks. His methods are shoddy, his conclusions are suspect, and I suspect that his mother dresses him funny. For example his conversion of a Pentax 40mm f2.8 to a Canon FF camera. He used the latest, and most expensive, 40mm, (with cosmetics to complement the K-01), and extolled it's virtues. Crap, the sample pictures were awful. That design was always soft in the corners on 24x36mm format. He would have gotten better results if he'd bought a used a M 40mm since it's pretty much the same optical formula, and would have maintained full aperture capability. His experiment proved nothing except his own shallowness, and lack of historical perspective. The fact that the 40mm lens on a Canon camera looked particularly stupid is beside the point. I've been using Pentax since 1974. Sometimes Pentax decisions infuriate me, sometimes mystify me. Criticizing Pentax is one of the things I do best. I still find it annoying that Pentax dropped support for the mechanical meter coupling on previous lenses. Even Nikon still allows that on the upper tier cameras.

Re: I had nothing better to do this morning...
Like Kennyboy, RiceWhine is a pseudonym I use to keep from generating traffic for someone I disapprove of. The actual name is Rice and a synonym for being stoned. While claiming to be a Pentax user he seems to know a lot more about the Canon camera line, it's been suggested he's a plant, but why Canon would care enough to do that I have no idea.

RE: I had nothing better to do this morning...
From: P. J. Alling So I visited a few despised sites... No link because I don't want to give him traffic, but RiceWhine makes Kennyboy look like a super genius, or in other words, RiceWhine is an idiot. I can't believe he's got a following. I really can't. Oddly enough, if you Google RiceWhine, all you get are a bunch of cooking links for Sake. Kennyboy doesn't work either. The closest I got was Ken Lay from Enron ... drawn a blank on kennyboy's last name. But here's a thought. I notice there's supposed to be an announcement on June 1 according to http://sensacionespentax.blogspot.com/ I wondered if they were going to finally announce the K-3 in whatever form, but if you click on the www.pentax.es link, it takes you to a Cashback_k5_12_Redes-Pre+[1600x1200].jpg, so I'm guessing they're going to announce a rebate.
