Sorry, is that a kind of "they are right because they can't be wrong" kind of argument?
Two things were suggested, mainly:
- to use the same lens (e.g. the highly regarded Sigma 70mm macro)
- to better check where the focus is (and the difference can be seen, go and check yourself)
What was the response?
- it's much better to use different lenses, with "similar" design - even if they tested differently by the same site
- it's pretty much irrelevant if the focus is all over the place, so they won't bother.
Sorry, but I can't take that site seriously. Unless it's about the user interface, very nicely explained. Klaus is much more careful about the "small" details that matters, including critical focus; I'm looking forward to his K-5 review (and, hopefully, K-5 lens tests that would follow).
P.S. It should be obvious, but: this isn't about making the Pentax "win". It can "lose" and still be an excellent tool (and it's pretty much obvious by now that it is). But if it "loses", let it "lose" fair and square - same for the "winner", whichever camera it may be.

Yawn please stop this. Dpreview can just give HINTS about camera performance. If anything apparent from their test pics translates into real life can only determined by the individual photographer by evaluating real images with his own workflow. Please dont take these bloddy test pics as Gods final judgment on camera performance.
