I remember photozone from the mid 90ies (somewhere between 95 and 97). Back then, I really liked it list of links (manufacturers, forums, etc) and the famous SIGnificant MAlfunctions. That was really famous and quoted on photo.net as THE reason why not to buy a certain lens brand. To this day I think it is indecent to even consider buying from them. I am still amazed that Klaus seems to have sweetened up to them and occasionally even recommends their products - Klaus how low have you become <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I'm still not fond of them either but I can't ignore the hard test data.
However, the times when the front elements fell off are probably over anyway.
Centering remains an issue but this is, by now, common across all manufacturers.
