Did Ken Rockwell a M8 hater?

Don't forget Ken uses his sites as his prime (I heard somewhere, only) income stream.

This will have some influence on what he says and how he says it.

 

I really like his specs and factual analysis, his opinion and other points less so.

He seems to feel that people enjoying websites like this one do more "discussing" than "photographing". Maybe he's right.

 

There are more posts in the photo forum than all the others put together.

KR has welded his reputation as a character. Don't take him all too seriously. Sometimes he's a hoot, humbling, harassing, but never boring.

I find KR an idiot at best 

His "reviews" are essentially worthless

 

Ive never yet seen a decent pic by him 

 

Those that can .......

 

He'd be pleased that you revived the conversation after a 4 year hiatus.....he thrives on the attention.

Of course, if you are specialized on infrared photography. But I am missing the special correction dot for infrared photography on most (all?) Leica M-lenses. My old Canon-FD-lenses have such dots - or is this not necessary for M?

 

 

The proper focus point is easy to find experimentally.   It does depend on the particular lens, but usually around the 5.6 mark.   I put a red ink spot there.   

 

The spot moves depending on the film sensitivity and filter in use.   Settle on one combination.

I don't worry about any of those things. Use one film, do the best we can and all is good. The technicalities trickle down to the  vociferous nerds who don't even look at the images.
