Quote:Mostly irrelevant. These are the combination of lens + sensor system. You can't make strong conclusions on the lenses alone.
The confounding NEX-7 sensor not only seems to give relatively poor corner results, but conversely seems to give exceptional center results which makes the graphs look even more skewed.
As long as PZ insists on keeping on testing on the outstanding-and-flawed NEX-7, it's a waste of PZ's time and the reader's time. Sorry to say. The results just keep on repeating what we already know, which is that the sensor dominates the lens-sensor system.
Couldn't agree more. The old 16MP sensor works wonders on my lenses. But the 24MP sensor on the Nex7 and SA77 was terrible. Nearly every lens looked bad on it, and that is based on my 5k+ or so shots on my own A77.
The 24MP sensor is so flawed many lens reviewer wouldn't use it. Seriously, please use the newer 24MP sensor or the older 16MP APSC sensor for reviews, so the review would actually mean something.
