[QUOTE="wrboyle, post: 213741, member: 17594"] I have read and reread the DXO rankings many times over. They helped me pick my primes and I feel like they do a great job of telling me camera/lens potential. But, at the same time, they only provide relative rankings. I don't really understand the difference between a 22 and a 29. I wish their Use Case Scores were populated more consistently, thats what I really want to know. There are lots of subtle things that a single metric wont cover. Looking at their scores, one would probably pick the 85 1.8 over the 105 2 DC as it gets much better scores, but that doesn't mean that for the right use it is a better lens. I'm not looking for top of the line quality (though, I do have minimum standards), you are probably right that a 22 is good enough. [/QUOTE]
