I only suggest this because I've searched high and lo for a decent database of image quality, and I'd certainly read, and buy based on this info. The way the site is laid out I just click through to the end, and see what grading a lens gets, if it is high enough then I'll read the view, but if not I have no interest in even reding it.
As a working pro my only interest is in what is the very best glass I can put on my camera, regardless of maker, auto focus or anything else, I just want the best quality. Right now my own experience with my Canon gear is mirrored by your reviews here, my sharpest lens in by far and away my Canon 135 f2, but I'd like to see how I can match it's quality across the spectrum I use the most. The 24-70 zoom I have is pretty ok at the 35-50mm range, but terrible at 24, and acceptable at 70 (which is more of a 65mm anyway). The 16-35 mkll is ok, but distorts too much to get used that much.
What I'd love a 24, 35 & 50 that match or better the 135 f2, and since we agree on its rating, I'd trust your ratings on the other glass I might consider.
