I can't recall if PZ/OL ever was the only missing step to decide on buying or not buying a lens. There are so many sources meanwhile to look for it, heck, I once even tried Dustin Abbott's sleeping pills on YouTube. I made very good experiences with renting a lens before buying it and avoided occasionally two or three disappointments.
Sometimes lenses are offered second hand, then OL is a very good source to check out the original price and possible weaknesses - as many sources as there are, few have such a complete œuvre of historic glass tested at whopping 8 MP or so... I like to make fun out of the long periods of silence, but I also know Roger Cigala praises your site and lenscore's last test was March 2017. Apparently they gave up. OL is still alive although only by the community of like a dozen forum members occasionally putting a post into the dust.
