I like a number of others are looking at new lenses and when reading reviews eg Photozone and DXOmark for the most part what & how relevent are some of the ratings. For example a lens on Photozone with a 3.5 rating, but with say a " should not be over looked comment". EG relevent to test lab & reality.

This is a half baked question I know, but about to head out the door, but thought this could be a good issue for new & older members who are still getting our heads around some of this stuff.

Cheers
