I've been a long time reader of LL and have come to think it's becoming increasingly useless.
It seems to me Mr Reichmann likes to hear himself talk a lot, likes to use Latin expressions and misspelled or incorrectly used Français en italique. I remember writing him about several omissions in his assessment of Canon 1dmkIII AutoISO, a topic I 'studied' some time through hands on, manual reading, user reports and all he could reply to my extensive mail detailing how custom functions could be set was a rather laconic:" Reading the manuals is no at all like shooting with the cameras. Visit a store and see for yourself."
Right. And don't get me started with his all time buddy Jeff Schewe.
That being said,
Redde Caesari quae sunt Caesaris, et quae sunt Dei Deo, LL still hosts a bunch of very good articles.
Oh, was this post just a rant?

I'm not following them for a long time but I agree concerning the approach and attitude. I find them a bit conceited. But OTOH at least they're representing an alternative to the detailed technical reporters. They mostly support their subjective comments with image samples. Reading assertive reports like "this sensor produces max dynamic range of 9 f-stops" is not much of their style, and I fing it good.
By the way, I think the dynamic range of 645D at that ISO is remarkable (first image posted by GTW).
Kind regards,
Serkan
