I notice I end up never finding reviews of newer third party lenses on the Nikon side. I end up turning to the canon section and reading those reviews, and assuming (probably incorrectly) that they'll fare the same on a Nikon camera.
Just curious, why is it easier for the reviewers to do canon reviews? Do you guys just happen to have more access to these lenses?
I'm not complaining because I know you guys do this stuff in your spare time (and I certainly appreciate your opinions) - but I'd just like to understand the inequality. Would it make it easier if more Nikon shooters donated lenses to you for testing?

Well, we've just tested 3 Nikon lenses. :-)
But seriously - the Canon and Nikon tests are performed by different editors (at different locations).
Being the site owner I'm more into this, of course, and I'm currently performing the Canon tests.
That said - the Nikon APS-C tests were based on the D200 and during the last half year or so we simply faded this out for obvious reasons.
Markus just got the D7000 so this section will be refreshed again. If the progress turns out to be too slow I will do some Nikon testing as well.
