Is it because I do not like slow telephoto zoom lenses?

Why would I need to look at one studio shot when I can look at all the focal lengths and apertures and compare directly? that tells me all I need to know about which is the more consistent and sharper lens, I mean seriously

why would you look at a picture as an example taken from a lens?

At one focal length in a studio? sure compelling evidence if ever there was any lol.

Since you have omitted the test shots i can only assume there is little or no difference in the shots and you are unwilling to admit it.....

It's called trimming the post, look I've trimmed my own images, happy now?

or you simply want to win an argument regardless of factual evidence.

Well the factual evidence is easily available at SLRgear lens tests and widgets, as I just showed you. Feel free to compare these two lenses to your hearts content, I can tell you that you'll struggle to prove your point with the Nikon, which I guess is why you never bothered to do it

Maybe DPR should stop doing test shots and just do graphs instead of new equipment instead.......

They do show lens test graphics already.

Truly funny

What's funny is that you'll take a single studio test shot, at one focal length and aperture as conclusive proof that one lens is better than another. That's instead of looking at proper data from an established and respected test site that shows you how both lenses perform at all marked focal lengths and apertures. Still, I guess for the purposes of a pizzing contest, which you clearly wanted, it works for you, it's just a shame it backfired so badly on you
