But I thought Larry deserved an explanation since he actually looked at 
some of his photographic output.  I'll apologize for that here.  Sorry, 
Larry.

Let's just say I was continuing my lens research, got a link that google
told me was connected, and clicked on it without looking at the
destination.  I ended up at his review of the K-3II.  I'll summarize,
makes great images, hate the ergonomics, Canon and Nikon make better.

Even though it was overall positive, he really liked the image quality,
(probably of the Jpegs as I highly doubt he actually processed any raw
files), and I agreed with some of his criticism, (though his take is
because he doesn't like something it's objectively bad, rather than a
subjective matter of taste, something he has no capability of separating
even if he thinks about it, indicates his weak mind.  His basic
/deserved/ insecurity, about his lack of skills comes through in his
writing style.  The actual tone of most of his writing could basically
be described as the digitalrev guys in print, something that doesn't
translate well, without the actual talent and sense of humor.  A man's
got to know his limitations and stick within them.

Now I've actually given his review /more/ time than it deserves. Reading
it was 10 minutes of my life, I will never get back. Venting actually
felt cathartic.

You are an evil man. I was curious "what now?", so I went to his

photos, now I have, and I can't unsee them. I blame you.
