Is it bad that Nikon's 70-200 ƒ2.8 didn't even make the top 3 list of fast telephoto zoom lenses.... lol
Go Tamron!
The sigma 50-500 coming before the 150-600s is a surprise
This is why I don't base my lens buying decisions on DXO.
The 70-300mm VR has the same score as the 70-300mm non VR? Laughable .
That's what I might have done.I've had both lenses and can say the the non-VR gave about the same results as the current VR model. Don't confuse this with the cheapie 70-300 currently being sold.

I had misunderstood how they had listed the "top 3" for each type of lens. I am sure it's an amazing lens.The next pro sporting event you attend, look at what the photogs are using, if it's a Nikon, it will most likely have a 70-200 f2.8 mounted or a 300, still one of the top choices for action and photojournalism, there is a good reason folks choose this lens, simply stated it is a great lens. Great photos coupled with fast and accurate focus are what count, labs don't mean much to me.
J-see,
You need to read "About", "FAQ", etc. to understand how they do the test at LenScore.
For each lens they test on several categories, like resolving power, color, contrast, bokeh, etc. and apply weighting factor for each parameter to get the overall score.
No one will give you the data to check, and even if they did I wonder how you gonna check anyway (eg. Can you check the manufacturers' MTF curves?)
