For some reason some people like to criticize good sharp lenses, I mostly see this as a case of subconsciously attempting to defend their purchases (or at least some brands on categories they associate themselves with) if there's a measurably better product out there, especially at lower prices.

You're not getting what I said. You're making that clear in the last part, with "measurably better" - when I mentioned lenses optimized for test charts and reviews. You're basically reducing a lens to its basic specs, price and MTF test charts. That makes for a good Internet fanboy fight, maybe, but when we're talking photography, there's much more than that to a lens.
Do you really think you're getting everything and more, for a lower price?

The fact is, I do own modern Pentax lenses, including a D FA* prime - the D FA 50mm f/1.4. The main reason for its heavy focus group is to offer uniform performance at all working distances, and that lens delivers.
If you're trying to say I'm defending soft lenses, you'd make a fool out of yourself.
