I appreciate the discourse. I disagree that my statements are made as a universal valid conclusion. In my mind, any review is subjective by nature and therefore does not need to be qualified as such. Perhaps I'm not sensitive to the nuances of this community yet.

Regardless, I still think it's an excellent lens that I wish I could keep and I hope that comes across with my 4.5 rating.

Again, nothing wrong with your opinion and statements in general, but...

- your statement (I referred to one of your statements as universal valid) may not be intended as such but may be read as such, especially from people who are still unsure about the lens

- this particular lens has quite a “controversial history” of discussions, also in this forum (called the brick, for example), which at least in my personal opinion is not doing justice to this really fine and versatile lens.

Yes, some people may be more sensitive to such wordings than others, but I also do not see a problem to (at least try) phrase things as clear as possible.
