Hi Jayanand,
I take your point, and quite agree that several points of view are worth 
seeking to sort the bias from the facts.
I take this approach with the news, easily done in this internet age, by 
reading a multitude of news sources. It is tempting to only read those 
journals which confirm rather than challenge ones own viewpoint. I 
conciously do not do this.
I don't know of many independent lens experts. I used to like the Chasseur 
d'Images tests.
I expect Erwin's evaluation to be the most thorough available, based on past 
experience. One does not have to agree with his conclusions.
Frank D.
