Hi Klaus,
Hope I'm not "treading on your toes" by offering that... it was something I've found useful, so it's great to know you're developing a feature like it here...
Regarding the 'lens rating' system, it might be helpful to point folk in the direction of the 'PZ rating system', [url="http://www.opticallimits.com/Reviews/product-ratings"]HERE[/url] (it's not that obvious to find on the site):
"Lens Reviews - Generic
Some of you folks may be a bit surprised by the "rather low" ratings in the verdicts here at photozone.de. This isn't really intentional but you're simply experiencing a cultural effect. Photozone.de is located in Germany and locally the word "average" means just that - reads: "average" is in between of better and worse. So this is strictly different compared to the more popular anglo-american-style meaning of the word where an "average" is equivalent to about as bad as it gets. Now you may argue that this is confusing but remember that this may be confusing for you but less so for visitors from different countries (thus different cultural backgrounds). We at photozone.de do firmly believe that "feel good" ratings are pointless - it neither helps you to choose nor does it help the manufacturers to get better."
