Is The Nikon Guy ok?

The pic on the left is the after, not the pic on the right.

Yeah, Dave Bautista is just off steroids/HGH. He's almost 60, he doesn't need to be gigantic anymore especially if he isn't just focused on action roles. I'm sure he's still completely shredded without the excess muscle/bulk. Plus it's relatively easy to bulk up if he needs to for a role.

I still think Matt has lost too much weight. He looks much older now than he did a year ago. He looks really healthy in that video talking about giving up drinking, vs. the video on the zoom lens.

Unless you're Matt's doctor, though, his weight is really not your concern.  If he has health problems, it's up to him to decide if he'll talk about them or not.  This thread was a lot better when it was trolling people about Dave Bautista and/or Perry Farrell.

Let's focus instead on his lens reviews where he does a portrait shoot with it stopped down to like f/13 which will be diffraction limited on just about any modern sensor!

Or on his thing where he has to bring 43 and 250 lenses in like 43 suitcases when he goes on trips!  Instead of, like, a couple of GFX 100 II bodies and a decent selection of Fujinon glass!  And if he really needs extreme telephoto, swap that out for any modern 61 megapixel body and the same focal equivalents as above + extreme telephotos.

Or his pockets.

That ^ is Dave, well known camera reviewer and influencer.

Normally ends his reviews by smashing the kit to pieces.

And here is a pic below after he went on the Matt Granger diet.

Damn, gotta update my YT algorithm. Reviewers will do anything for clicks in this day and age LOL
