The first problem is that lenses are precisely for taking pictures and one cannot test them making coffee.The second problem is that nobody owning a lens will accept a private test, from unknown people or not, if his lens is not a winner.Even more, reputable tests as Photodo, Chasseurs d'Images, Pop Photo, Amateur Photographic, not exactly uknown, are not accepted if they do not fit our ideas. In every list the most common thought although not confessed is always "mine is always better" Kind regards Félix PS. I follow making tests but nevermore give information about it. It's useless.
