Re: Lenses are always variables in these kinds of comparisons.

Evaluating sharpness and resolution requires a system. No matter what lens is chosen to shoot test shots, the choice impacts results. You may able to assess dynamic range or something like that in more isolation.

To compare these you need to keep things equal. This is not a system test, this is a camera test. The lens is a variable that can be easily countered when you always use the same lens. Time and time again. In this case we have a good lens versus a superb one making remarks on IQ mostly useless. Especially sharpness, colour rendition and contrast.

Add to that the different Raw converters used, even different version of Camera Raw produce different results, and the comparisons become pretty much an exercise in futility.
