Ah, didn't notice so far. Just noticed some time ago, that their lens reviews weren't progressing any more and seemed to have run out of steam. So this implies I shouldn't expect anything from them any more in the lens department. A bit sad, I liked to have a look at their reviews as well. Typically their findings agreed with what Klaus and the "gang" had worked out.

I always found their testing widget ridiculously over-complicated. It must have been very time-consuming (and inefficient use of time) to provide so much detail which doesn't actually tell you any more about a lens than the PZ tests. Quite apart from lacking the sort of insights and authority you get from Klaus and Markus here based on their long experience of testing and field use. I much prefer the 'at-a-glance' simplicity of the PZ test results and indeed I have bought all my 7 lenses on the basis of PZ tests plus reference to user feedback on Fred Miranda. I have not been disappointed with any of them.
