    I noticed that they had announced lens reviews earlier this morning but didn't bother clicking the link, I wish I had. That is one cool interface for lens reviews.

    I like dpreview in general, but I hope that their lens reviews don't follow the path of their camera reviews, which apparently grades on a curve. The last "Average"-rated camera is from five years ago! And apparently no one has made a "Below Average" camera since 2002!

    I guess I'm saying, I like their methodology, but there's a lot of read-between-the-lines to their conclusions.

    Also consider that they have become more selective in the cameras they are reviewing - a lot of the mediocre cameras aren't being reviewed.

    I agree - the new lens review interface is really nice!

    Very cool interface. It will be more useful when they get more reviews. I'm hoping they are wise enough to adopt one of Klaus' policies over at photozone: keep the body the same. It makes the test results comparable across all lens reviews. I know he's caught flack for sticking with the Rebel, but that allows the relative results from the latest test to be comparable to ones he did a while ago.

    I agree re the body. The other thing I'm wondering is how (if?) they're accounting for sample variation.
