We have a couple of angry people posting here. They also provide a little information and a lot of entertainment.

"The Angry Photographer" can provide 5 minutes worth of information in as little as an hour if he cuts down on the number of times he repeats himself.

This is why I refuse to engage in the abominable crime of bloggery.

He's a Nikon shooter. He also usually knows what he's talking about. I've sent money to him to help him keep going. Rude but smart.

The Angry Photographer is not stupid, far from it; and he knows camera gear and lenses. But, he enjoys being judgemental, often negative for effect (Sigma lenses). He is arrogant to a fault, but with some good reason. Like any camera guy, one should watch him for information and knowledge, but take him with a big grain of salt.
He loves to hear himself talk, and spends far too much time repeating himself, re-phrasing what he has previously said; and then saying it again. He will talk for 15 minutes to say what could be said in five.
I will continue to consider his opinions after suffering the through his presentations.

Search for Mark Smith on YouTube. After watching one of Mark’s videos, who and why would anyone watch a loudmouth like him? Personally, I could care less about any of the youtubers who click bait. None of them are good photographers anyway.

That used to be the case, but ever since they introduced their line of Global Vision lenses, things have changed and they are now putting out a lot of decent glass!


Is that what he says?

I met a guy like that once. His philosophy was,” I can’t wait to hear what I’m going to say next!”

I respectfully disagree. Theoria Apophasis (aka Ken Wheeler) is one of the most knowledgeable and professional photographic bloggers currently publishing. I’m sure others will disagree, especially those whose gear he demeaned. He makes a practice of acquiring lenses he plans to evaluate and does not accept favors or gratuities from manufacturers or major vendors. In short, he is nobody’s “boy” and nobody’s fool. He is aware he has many detractors and, frankly Scarlet, does not give a darn. He calls it like he sees it after detailed in-depth analysis. I respect his opinions despite his rants.

As a teacher he repeats his point over and over to get you to remember what he said.

I agree with some of his information. I also prefer Nikon optics on my Nikon cameras. I also prefer Schneider and Zeiss lenses for other cameras. This includes the Russian made "Leica" lenses.

I’ve watched most of his posts. He is entertaining. He is spot on with his recommendations. I’ve purchased several lenses based on his reviews and I’ve not been disappointed. The Nikon 200-500 comes to mind and that one is stellar. He was one of the first to tout the Fuji 16 mm lens. No regrets in buying that one... it is a phenomenal lens! All in all he is my go to guy on recos.
