DxO and Nikon 300mm f/4 E FL PF VR

Hi,

I have several times asked DxO on their homepage/forum about testing the Nikon 300mm f/4 E FL PF VR. They have each time assured that it is on the schedule to be tested but they have never committed to a date.
So I recently asked the same question on the DxO Facebook page. This time I got a different answer:

"Many thanks for your interest and for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the Nikon 300mm f/4 E FL PF VR is not on our road-map for now."

The possible implications are endless regarding both Nikon and DxO.

They made the same mistake when not testing the Tamron 150-600mm on Nikon and look at the result; hardly anyone bought the lens.

I did respond to their answer with the following:
Bengt Nyman: That is amazing. The responders on your website has repeatedly assured that the lens is on your list of lenses to be tested !!!

DxO Facebook quickly responded with this:
DxOMark: Let us confirm that there is no confusion, and we'll get back to you then.

DxO's response from Facebook has been very quick compared of weeks of no answers from their website.

I am following the situation because existing tests from LenScore and LensTip are miles apart and one of them have no test data on the old 300mm f/4 D.
And there might be more to the story; Nikon has in the past asked DxO not to test a lens until Nikon was happy with it. Couple this with the fact the Nikon is still not delivering the 300mm f/4 E FL PF VR in Europe.
Maybe Nikon are not yet completely happy with their new 300mm f/4 lens.
Time will tell.

You should write a Greek tragedy.

I read the comments: are you seriously throwing a hissy fit at DxO because they do not quickly enough provide you freely the data you demand?

Talk about entitlement.

DxO has clearly claimed a place in the photographic industry demanding attention and respect for among other things publicly provided test results. Corrupting, failing or substantially altering this course deserves similar attention.
