Re: More Kennyboy quotes
Here's a quote from Ken's filter section. In fact, it is the first paragraph: The selection of the proper filter is actually far more important than any choice of lens or camera. To be fair, much of what is on his site is interesting. My take is that KennyBoy cannot be bothered to write an essay in one or two settings. The site feels like each paragraph on any page was written two months later than its preceeding paragraphs, and without reading the precedent, and authored by someone a little hyperactive. Hell, he might be a nice guy. I do like some of his photos. -Lon

He reminds me of Mafud in many ways. He's not stupid, but he has a predisposition to making blanket statements and often trivializes aspects of a topic that he knows little about or does not care to write about. Tom C.

Quoting Jens Bladt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I often thought, that copy machines may very well be the reason Canan got the resources to delvelop great cameras. The same didn't help Minolta much, though. Pentax perhaps does the same by making endocopes and industrial lenses... I believe the photographic division of Pentax makes up a vastly much larger percentage of the company as a whole, compared to Canon.

William Robb Well, they just keep screwing up what used to be their most popular car here, the Eclipse, and you can't get the one other actually atractive car they make, the Lancer Evo, in most places. The plain Lancer is underpowered, with an engine that's 15 years behind the times (SOHC??) and the Galant is just plain ugly. But the best thing they could do is build an Eclipse with 4wd and a Turbo 4, like the legendary 2nd gen eclipse, instead of the overweight, fwd 6 cylinder 'sporty' Eclipse they're making now. -Adam
