Typical lens testing protocol includes measurements of focal length, blur spot size, distortion, chromatic aberrations, field curvature, stray light, aerial image resolution, MTF across film/sensor size. Why they concentrate on MTF only (and publishing limited data on MTF, centre only) that I can't understand. Oh, no, I can.

To be fair he explains in the article what he's testing and why

And can't spell Wells.

, and that it's only a part of his decision - a part that's easily quantifiable and share-able

And equally useless.

I doubt anyone who's used any lenses on any bodies for any length of time

But he is not after those who can see, as those are minority. "Sane" purchase decisions when it comes to cameras and lenses are these days based on numbers in reviews mostly. These are much better than those based on the colour of body.
