Thanks, Sonny.

I've been shooting professionally for 30 years, so probably have checked the 
"ascertain performance via use" box. Given that equipment can degrade with 
use, I'm still in search of objective confirmation of my subjective sense of 
the performance of my specific equipment.

Regards,

David

David,
You oughta be taking pictures with your cameras and lenses to ascertain if
they are doing the job you want them to.

Objective testing is available in many magazines and other sources.   The
only results, (let me say that again,) THE ONLY result that is important is 
the
subjective opinion you have about the pictures you get.
