Ken Rockwell is a mixed bag even though he has one of the more popular sites. I have noticed that his advice is aimed more at novice users as he oftens gives "common sense" advice. But as you progress, his advice seem to have less value as you are now more familiar with photography. That is the main reason why pros and advanced users think of him as rubbish. His shameless plug to earn money on his site doesn't seem to help his credibility either. Though personally I don't see anything wrong in earning in one's site but it can be done in a more discreet manner. But Ken Rockwell still has some merits but you still have to qualify his opinions. And in this article, I would have to agree with the rest even though I am no pro. A backpack is still a bag. At one point you will still have to carry your gear. And that is your business and nobody else's. As you progress, you may and most probably "outgrow" his opinions to say the least. Again he has his merits and again pros absolutely hate him. In the end, you will have to be the judge for yourself. Welcome to TPF!
