Let us look at another lens, and opinions from the places you consider to be reliable:
[photozone]: "Mechanical Quality: 3 1/2 out of 5" vs:
[Lenstip]: "you deal here with a very solid construction which build quality would be hard to blame. In fact it is really the most solid [in this class] lens we’ve ever tested".
Yes, they both talk about the same lens. So... is it mechanically: "a half way between good/average and very good", or is it "the most solid lens in its class"?
(Lensrentals publishes reports of limited range of lenses only, usually the lenses they rent).
