While I appreciate the effort, taking pictures of newspapers is a waste of time. The very least you can do is go out and shoot a real subject (human being maybe?). Again, thanks for the effort, but the methods are flawed and the conclusion isn\'t terribly helpful.
+1
Sorry but I hard it find to trust the above test. I see many flaws with it. I\'ve never seen CA or 85LII being so soft at f/8. 85LII is one of the sharpest lenses I own and f/8 result seems to be like a total fake. The only real test I believe is my own and when I use the lens in real life. I just checked my last shoot with it and I found 1 image with CA. And that is out of more than 100 images!!! I find it very strange that people buy lenses solely relying on test like above or the-digital-picture.com lens comparison. Real life results can be totally different from those types of tests.
