It just reiterates that DxO tests, however they are done, are not representative of real world results.
Honestly, look at some zeiss landscape shots on full frame and get back to us DxO
I\'m inclined to wonder to what degree the testing is done on a FLAT subject vs. Zeiss being designed more strongly to respond toward shooting more dimensional subjects ... probably wouldn\'t have any effect on the results ... ya think
Not knockin\' DXO necessarily ... but it\'s a bit like testing a Gran Prix race car on a dragstrip. The car is built for negotiating transitions, while the test is for straight line driving. So is a Muscle Car better than a Gran Prix race car, just because it gets down the 1/4 mile faster ?? In that regard, Zeiss doesn\'t always fare as well in \'tests\' as it does in other venues. A car newbie would be say that the Muscle Car was the better car because it has a faster 1/4 mile time / speed ... but is it ??
BTW, a Mustang GT Convertible will never test well on the 1/4 mile track or a Gran Prix course, yet it remains a favorite for what it does do in the real world.
