Whilst it is an accurate review and he states the sales staff are not on commission I doubt they would criticise something they were selling, although he does have a bit of a dig at Canikon and also emphasises the value for money aspect, which most reviewers ignore when they compare it to a Canon costing twice as much!
It does concern me though that in a balanced review there is no mention of AF performance at all, which as we know is the one area that has aspects which lag behind the competition.

I don't see this as an issue.

Arguably we are biased by being on this very forum.

It's easier for him to promote other brands surely.

"Uk sourced" description - I reckon is effectively an import.

If it doesn't say that, then it means non-import.

(just my take on it)

some are imports some aren't... they are clearly marked though

bought from them before, 0 problems... just read everything

the 20-40 for instance is an import

only skim read this

50-135mm apart from arguably size, is possibly the perfect wedding lens... high IQ and good range and still fast
-I'm not a massive fan of zooms, but the 50-135mm is the real deal

FA 31/77 might also be handy if you frame

my thoughts exactly... given the landscape shoots you see on the web from the 645D and now Z, amazing detail and clarity

As posted on another thread, Ken might be in a minority?

hmm the mk2 is based on the mk1 Ken (which TIPA seemed to like) ...
