The comparing of results is really only FFF - food for fanboys (girls don't do that, maybe there's a reason?)
If one wants to decide for a camera system and only is looking for the sharpest lens, I meanwhile call that brainless as there's definitely much more to consider.
If one wants to know how good his lens is compared to the "enemy brand", it's not only brainless but straightforward stupid.
If one wants to find out which of three given lenses suiting to his camera system is the best package, then we're talking. Cross-comparisons are nothing to be taken seriously. However, testing batches of lenses to see sample variation between them - like lensrentals does - is something to animate manufacturers to invest maybe a bit more into quality - but since that money and a lot customers only buy what they were told to be a "great brand", themanufacturers can lean back and confuse customers by more lenses, more options of standard workhorses to feed the trench war fighters.
