Hi Wim,
of course I cannot deny that the new lenses are better to be tested on new high MP sensors to get a broader range of results. I'm not against this. But what I personally believe is that the comparatibility is more important than this issue. To be more precise, let's say you're looking for a mid range zoom. If you can find the results of three 24 ~ 85mm lenses by Nikon, Tamron & Sigma tested with the same body, than this package really means something. Of course it would be better if all these three lenses were tested by the same high MP sensored body, but OTOH it would be definetly the worst case if 2 of them were tested with D200 and the last one with D3X. How could you choose between those three?
Maybe I'm missing the point... I don't have so much technical knowledge as yours but isn't it like rating the lap times of 3 different drivers with exactly the same race car?
Best regards,
Serkan
