I think it's very good start. How about something like: 50 mm f1.8 Manufacturer A 5 stars manufacturer B 4.5 stars etc. I admit that it could be viewed as too cheeky!

Admitted I'm slightly wondering about the idea behind all this. It is a frequently requested feature but how are people really selecting new lenses ?

Usually readers come to photozone AFTER they've chosen their system. It starts with basic camera kits and from there on you're basically tied to this specific system. There are really few people migrating from Canon to Nikon and vice versa for instance.



However, within a system you only have a handful of options if you're looking for a specific solution. Say - a 50mm standard lens. You have 5 options at best then and that's typical across the board. Assuming that reviews exist you don't really need a cross-manufacturer-sortable table for these few lenses. It really feels a little nerdy to me. But if it's required by readers we will provide it - sure.
