All I can say is I read most of the reviews now as a hobby, but PZ's reviews helped me enormously when I was buying Pentax lenses and cut down buying blind.
Sample variations are a given as is the bane of the optical world..... de-centered lenses.
Each site has it's way, PZ's has a very clever test scene which demonstrates "in one hit" the rendering of OOF fore and backgrounds as well as highlight rendering and bokeh balls. Also PZ does a separate review for FF and APSc bodies, Lenstip doesn't.
I couldn't buy a lens these days without reading some sort of review, especially if there is good choice of alternatives.
Excellent reply from you Klaus!
