[QUOTE="Bengt Nyman, post: 510174, member: 13692"] DxOMark used to do a good job of testing image sensors and lenses. However, their philosophy involved testing each lens on a very large number of cameras, which I think turned out to be an unnecessary and costly mistake. DxO has since tried to market lens correction software and they finally launched a head on challenge to Adobe post processing software. It seems that financial survival of DxO in its present form can not be taken for granted. It now takes DxOMark up to a year to test a new, main stream lens, like the Nikon 300 mm f/4 PF VR, essentially taking them out of the business. I have lately been relying on data from LensTip, though I am not sure they have the resources to test everything coming out. I believe that we have the right to expect Nikkor and other lens manufacturers to provide us with reliable lens performance data. [/QUOTE]
