Thanks for the clarification.
I have tried to be factual and helpful, but you may have picked up a hostile tone, and I will explain why. In the other thread I posted an example of an image showing a potential use case for the lens. Your response was that since that was the only example you had seen so far, it would be stupid to buy the lens just for that use. Even though it might not have been your intention to be hostile, came out that way. This was the first image, and it may have been a bit premature to mention that possible conclusion.
When you host an image thread, it is particularly important not to make posters feel stupid. When you say in advance that your purpose in reviewing the images is to see if the same could be done with a 90 mm lens, it is a no brainer to expect that reaction from you to all images, the image could also have been made with a 90 mm lens. Very few will post images then, and those who do will be prepared for confrontation, and the thread will be confrontional. That is not a very smart tone for an image thread.
I get the feeling that you started this thread to prove that almost all images made with this lens could have been made with another lens. You can single out almost any lens from Canon's very large lens range and easily get to that conclusion. There is almost no lens in Canon's entire lens range that is indispensable. Case in point: Any image made with the Canon TS-E 90 could also have been made with the TS-E 50. You have determined the conclusion in advance, and will use everything you see to support that conclusion.
A more positive approach would be "This is a very versatile lens. Let's see what it is possible to do with it. It can be used for Studio headshots, Landscape, product, macro, and whatnot. Bring on the examples and show the lens' potential!"
That may even well be patially in line with your intention, and I invite you to start a new image thread after the lens has reached the market, if you don't want to carry over the negative vibrations from this thread. I wish you well.
