Bjorn Rorslett (www.naturfotograf.com) is something of an authority on Nikon but his website hasn't been active now in two years; his compendium on Nikkor MF and AF lenses is an invaluable resource, representing years of first-hand experience and exhaustive testing. The breadth & depth of his knowledge of optics and photography is truly impressive and worthy of the PhD in natural sciences he apparently holds. He posts snippets now and then on www.nikongear.com, where he's a moderator and resident expert; that site is a good resource but has become an insider's club for a core of pros that chat there. Everyone else is pretty much ignored and Rorslett is typically unpleasant, irrascible and rude in his exchanges with not-so-subtle anti-American commentary and bias (by him but also other Scandinavians/Euros there) that has made it a somewhat hostile place to dialogue. Lots of solid info unobtainable elsewhere, just avoid getting involved....Show more →
Pretty much have to agree with this assessment although I don't think the rudeness is anti-American as much as anti-outsider. I get the impression that quite a few of the regulars on that site have a psuedo sophisticated personality. There is an air by many of the regulars in many of their posts of trying to be or come across as intellectually superior to impress Rorslett.
