Actually this is one of the worst examples of his ranting videos, he usually gives his views in a far more "palatable fashion" given that he is prone to repeating himself ad infinitum..................... Often he mixes in a lot of his knowledge and experience of Nikon lenses and has many videos on his recommendations for the earlier manual and AF-D range of lenses which are disappearing off the review sites. A lot of it is useful.
Ken spent many years dedicating himself to the fight to save his wife who was dying of cancer, here he was in one of his blacker moods and takes out his bitterness on the modern lens world!
In spite of his unorthodox presentation, I still think he's a good guy! (maybe it's the rebel in me) he has given good reviews to such lenses as the Tamron 24-70 F2.8 and the Nikon 20mm F1.8G and other recent glass ....... As has been said, there are rendition differences in modern design but the Otus lenses get round most of those problems by adding even more glass.
PS. One exception to this is what is turning up more often in modern reviews is "onion bokeh". It annoys me with the Tamron 150-600! I'd be happy if they could get rid of that!
