Bryan's statement on his [url="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Help/ISO-12233.aspx]About ISO 12233 Chart[/url] page ("Lenses should be critically compared to each other only with test samples from the same camera body as it is the combination that is tested,") and the PZ disclaimer near the top of every list of tested lenses ("Please note that the tests results are not comparable across the different systems,") both pretty clearly support that belief. [/quote]
I believe they say that because 1) if your goal is to compare lenses (as Bryan's and PZ's reviews are) you shouldn't compare across different systems 2) you have to know what you're doing to compare across different systems and most people don't (think how much confusion the mere mention of DLA caused on Bryan's site). It's even possible that they themselves don't know (PZ anyway... I'm not one to doubt Bryan's knowledge)
[quote=neuroanatomist]That leaves the 85mm f/1.2L II.[/quote]
Okay, we can agree on that
I'm all for the 85 f/1.2 II.
[quote=neuroanatomist]Thanks again to everyone for your input, and thanks especially to you Jon for sticking with the discussion![/quote]
