Manufacturers need to keep the testers awake and kicking. Bad headlines are better than no headlines. With bad headlines the *cough* fanboys are willing to defend their decisions which always gives a view, that not all is crap from a certain manufacturer. 

 

Let's be clear!  Are you knocking Sigma fanboys?  I don't have a single modern sigma lens, from the Global View Era.  But I might qualify as a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 art fanboy since they've managed to sell me on that one - and I've never even seen one! 


Or do you mean Canon L lens fanboys which I might be someday.  The problem is, I've only used three L-lenses, and nothing as iffy as any version 24-105 F/4L.  Since the 24-70mm F/xL all seem well received, I don't think I will go with a ? for the extra 35mm on the long end.
