Gary;

Thanks for your response.  I don't know who Paul Young is or where his
results are posted. Can you shed more light?

I'm certainly not going to defend MP tests, as I've never seen one!  But
I presume they were (?) somewhat consistent from one test to the next?
Ie if they tested Zuiko 35 F/2 one month and 35-105 the next, couldn't
we assume that the methodology (and film) used to get the numbers would
have been similar enuf to be ignored when comparing the results?

IOW: maybe their resolution #s are lower than other testers, but when
comparing 2 of their tests, can we trust the comparison?
