It is hard to tell the difference between three of the four lenses on the YouTube video, but in real life, we pixel peep, so we can easily discern the difference..

In the video he pixel peeps.  If you watched this video at full resolution, and full screen on a HD monitor, and you had a hard time telling the difference, you would also find it hard to tell the difference in real life.

I'm not saying there is not a measurable difference, I am just saying that it was surprising how minimal the difference was when pixel peeping a shot of building.
