What about charts for different MTF values? That should be easy enough.
EDIT: About the "didn't we have this discussion already a few weeks ago". I don't read this forum frequently. Nevertheless, there are very good reasons why there is demand for more thorough testing. slrgear.com seems to do more thorough testing.

As of now we consider the MTF analysis to be sufficient. Adding further MTF characteristics wouldn't result in a substantial gain of information. At some stage we considered MTF20 charts but this would also make things more complicated and it would only appreciated by a minimal amount of users. There must be a balance between simplicity and substance. This is not a science project but a photo magazine after all.
However, we are looking into other aspects such as a formal glare analysis, contrast and possibly field curvature. IMHO this is all more important than adding more MTF data.
