I would like to point out that the OP did these test because people requested them. Look at the other threads and you will see that several people asked the OP to do this.
I think he is very accommodating and at this point, if I was him, I would tell all of you complainers to shove it. Go buy the lens and test it yourself.

I saw all of his threads and did not find any real life shots. Maybe you can post link(s) to those threads? All I saw were shots of the newspaper. Since I do not shoot newspaper (and I am sure 99% of people here don\'t) I see this test as completely irrelevant and useless. Not just that, I see it as being manufactured because things just don\'t add up.
Yea, it didn\'t add up because it cost only half of what we paid for the 85L2?? The lens sample section at POTN have atleast 7 pages of hands on review of this lens, and quite a few people have done some \'real world\' test on the lens, and more people over there have ordered this lens in the past few days so rest assure, you will see LOTS of \'real world\' test from different users, but for now...the least you get from the OP is initial preview of the lens, what hasn\'t he covered so far?
CA, check
Sharpness, check
AF, check
would you have written off this lens if the test were being done by photozone, the-digital-picture.com, or someone else? i guess so....because those reviewers also used some sort of \'test chart\' to gauge the sharpness of a lens. It doesn\'t matter who did the test, it\'s only for reference, we still haven\'t factor in copy variation! Useless?? Irrelevant?? how rude! What have YOU contribute to the community to show some hands on preview/review of a lens or camera recently? real world test or otherwise... Go get your own copy and do another \"useful and relevant\" test so you can show us what ya got then!
