If one would rate the Canon as good as the Zeiss because of comparable performance at smaller apertures, despite the less-than-perfect performance wide open, there would not be much room for higher ratings for lenses that do better wide open. In addition, if I buy an 1.4 lens, its performance at this aperture is most important for me, and should be much heavier weighted than its performance at smaller apertures. I do not by an 1.4 lens because I have the luxury to stop it down most of the time. In daylight, ok. But 1.4 lenses are used either because one needs the bokeh or the light gathering abilities. In both cases, high MFT values are welcome. I find the current way of giving stars right.
