The biggest problem with these kinds of efforts is that the image quality you see on your screen is very dependent upon the skill of the person preparing the images and monitor characteristics. There's the issues of your monitor vs the monitor used to prepare them that can change the way they look dramatically. What's up there at present is also entirely 24x36mm film centric; the D/DS/DS2/DL results will likely be radically different due to differences in medium characteristics (format, etc), which film, processing, scanning, et al.
For instance, the images presented for the SMCP-A 24/2.8 look almost nothing like what I see in DS test images with the same lens using a similar subject.
