I used to be a big fan of test results but not anymore. I still remember the
SMC PENTAX-A 70-210/4 were rated poorly by them while mine (2) were pretty
good. They gave the FA*85/1.4 a full 5 stars but I must disagree even though
I love this lens. I have the FA77/1.8 now and I think it should be rewarded
a 6 stars if the FA*85/1.4 had 5.
