Hi Klaus,
I think maybe there are those of us who just like to see lists, e.g. where it's easy to compare key features of lenses... you might remember this was raised a couple of times a few months ago and I posted what I'd put together a while back from Photozone reviews, [url="http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/996-top-10-nikon-lenses/"]here[/url] (3rd post)

Yes, sure this is understood. Such an overview is certainly interesting.
However, honestly, out of these hundreds of reviews we are usually talking about a very limited number of candidates which qualify for a certain use case. You will rarely follow the approach of buying lenses just because they are rated as being great.
Even so it is often not so easy. Take for instance the "portrait" scope. Just by the ratings you may conclude that -say- the Canon 70-200/2.8 L IS II is the best option. The 85/1.2 L II is rated much worse but from a creative standpoint it is actually superior to the zoom lens here.
So, yes, it is interesting to know the queens here but the beauties may still not be identical to those.
So rather than showing a plain list it would make more sense to provide a interpreted view.
