[/quote] Aw go on... we all need a fetish I got my 5th PZ 4* lens today. - popo - 02-25-2012 Of lenses I currently have, 4 lenses tested on Canon (any body) got **** or higher in optical rating. One wasn't rated due to decentering (Sigma 150mm macro non-OS) but the Nikon format review was excellent and I think it a fair chance it would have got a high score on Canon also had it not been for the sample.

While I like PZ I don't know the ratings of my lenses and in particular don't know them by hard. I typically don't even look at the stars - I look at the graphs and samples to decide whether something is useful to me. And believe it or not, even with lenses Klaus ( and everyone else) is critical about I managed to get nice pictures from. Take picture, print pictures, use pictures, eat pictures, enjoy pictures ... If you have nice lenses and cameras enjoy them too. But bragging about PZ ratings is crass in my view. I am sorry if I offended anyone. You shouldn't the above is just my current opinion and no objective truth. Best J.
