OF COURSE the MF lenses were judged by them to be  inferior. How else can they
support the ads that tout the latest and *greatest* "must have"  whiz bang
Nikon F100/F5 Canon EOS and all the latest AutoFocus lenses?  There's no big
money in Olympus,Pentax, Canon MF lenses!  Has Popular Photography EVER not
liked something they reviewed that was a current item in the big name
manufacturer's line? I doubt you could find one item.
