1. - The contributor has already paid more than any of the rest of so I see no 
     reason for them to pay any more.

2. - The testing procedure has been published on this list previously and would 
not 
      be readily reproducible  for most of us without purchasing items we may 
      otherwise not need.

2a - You would loose any consistency.

2b - I agree with you on this one.

As for testing a known lens - Ha!

A rough calculation of the weight of all Zuikos puts the combined weight at 
over 
31Kg (70.4lb).  I think the shipping charges would be horrendous, not to 
mention 
the difficulty for Gary of finding even one example of some lenses let alone 
multiples.
