When folks use Modern Photography data to compare lenses, they need to
take into account:
* Panatomic-X was discontinued well before MP folded and their
lens tests ceased - so
what film did they use in its place and what effect did it have on
results? What tests are
Panatomix-X based and what tests used the successor film?
* What camera were generic lens tests done on? A vibration prone
camera or a rock
solid heavyweight? The odds are against them being done on an OM-1
with mirror lock-up.
IMHO, those two confounding factors loom larger than sample to sample
variability issues
which are more frequently mentioned.
