But what we need to know is how this lens performs in a difficult situation. Harsh edges, strong contrasts of light and dark, bright light, complex backgrounds..... The ability to handle difficult situations is what makes a stellar lens better than just an o.k. lens.

And we consumers need these lenses. Consumers need better lenses than professionals, as consumers often have far less control over the situations (backgrounds, light) we are shooting in. We are shooting in difficult conditions a big portion of the time.

Then go buy the professional lenses and pay the premium

There are limits to my budget, but i am saving up.

and just because you are an amateur photographer is no excuse not to learn to put yourself in the best position releative to the light and back ground.

I don't us it as an excuse. I have a lot to learn, i know, and i am trying a lot. But the conditions for a learning process are also more difficult for an amateur as long as you don't hire models which you can steer.

There are plenty of pros who shoot in the same difficult conditions they just know how to overcome them.

That is true. But there is a context here. I was responding to another post. And in this post was mentioned that the sample pictures coming from a lens manufacturer are often made in less difficult conditions for the lens. My comment to that is are also less difficult condition for these pro photographers when they make these sample pictures.
