Isn't there also a Leica board on OL? 
But people interested in them will buy them anyway, no matter what's OL finding.
Well, the Z-lenses are a bit pointless to test as there is no alternative to them at the moment - except to change ships. Before L-mount alliance was announced I was hoping Sigma would have started their reverse engineering mills, but making lenses for Sony clearly pays better. I was trading in my old D810 for the 14-30 lately. It's less sensitive to flares than the old Nikkor 14-24 (not exactly a surprise), but the green/red blobs due to reflections from sensor to glass and back don't look attractive, either. I also compared it to the Sigma Art, unfortunately not in the green/red blobs provoking situation - I just wonder if the distance between T-type-lens and Z-mount will be long enough to kill these reflections.
Haven't seen that post. Let's also be realistic about a lens test site which still has nothing to tell about the quality of a couple of new lenses for new mounts... Yes, also lensrentals only tests the MTF of Sony lenses as they still don't have mounts for Canon and Nikon mirrorless, but sooner or later they will get these.
I really understand the hesitation: You saw Samsung going down and Nikon 1, too. Pentax maybe next. Investing time in horses which are not really dead right now but on shaky legs, is not very interesting.

As far as Nikon F and Canon EF are concerned - let's be realistic about those ...
