These are people that don;t want to spend $2000 or more on equipment. As a journalist you should know, writers need to write for their audience. Why test 400 F2.8s when their may be 3 readers that buy one, when testing a 28-105 F4-5.6 may be of interest to 265,000 readers. Makes a difference. Peter K <snip> I just don't believe them, because of experience with some of the lenses they test. And they don't test that many lenses, that I've seen, that I care about anyway. They tend to spend their efforts on low-end stuff. Have they ever compared 400 2.8s? I doubt it. <snip>
