Dan, I was to excited to care about it when I got my first Pentax,
but now I test every new lens versus the ones I already own. It's
not a formal test, rather a side by side brick wall shooting, at
various apertures and focals, for comparative sharpness. As for
flare, bokeh, AF speed, etc. I leave these for the later use.
My tests don't really tell much more than I expect, but it sure
back up the justification report I have to present after each
purchase. ;o)
Servus, Alin
