For myself, I don’t even know why other people care about other peoples opinions about lenses. I know for instance, that some people that shoot pretty regularly have similar preferences to my own, so if they recommend a lens, I’m more likely to try it.
As far as Bastian or Fred, or really anybody’s reviews, they’re just providing a ton of objective free information to do with it as we will (because they are excellent reviewers). What to do with the technical presentation of data (i.e. how you weigh them) is the subjective part. some people have a lot of money, some don’t. Some people don’t mind heavy lenses, some due. Some people hate optical vignetting, some don’t. Some people want a highly corrected draw, some want personality, some want a lot of personality. And what those factors mean and are worth to different people is personal. So just do your thing and enjoy.
I personally have a different idea about colors and contrast and size than Bastian has had in the past. In this review, for instance, I was much more concerned with the mid frame performance of the 28 Noct than Fred was because I often shoot it in that area wide open. If reviewers, or other photographers, have strong opinions, about which thing they prefer, good for them. The labor intensive free objective content is a gift.
Everybody’s different, a diversity of opinions is healthy. If people are disagreeing on objective, or verifiable data, that’s another issue.
