This is not to pick on Peter, but to point out the differences in
methodology.... which was my point.....

DOF can only vary from different FL lenses or different F stops or different
camera to subject distances.... the BRAND of lens has nothing to do with it.
No data here.

Color differences from different lens makers  has been noted for something
like 50 years that I know of... probably longer.....  A personal subjective
preference is required here and none is right or wrong or better or
worse......

Sharpness could be considered a real data point, but (without whisky and)
with a tripod would have given more objective results....

As I said, some people have more anal testing requirements than
others......and to your  point, size does matter if preferred methodology is
followed .....

You can click on them for larger sizes.  Try right clicking.

The two conclusions I draw are that:

1. your lens/camera combos do have noticeable differences in look, including
DOF, color, and sharpness
