I should have made this clear that I didn't make the video, I just came across it on YouTube, found it interesting and made the post.

He tackles an unusual set of questions in an interesting way. Not your usual sort of lens comparisons. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice to hear an explanation of why coatings may not be desirable in certain situations.

Interesting...

I own several of the lenses mentioned and generally agree with his recommendations, though I think he may have short-changed a couple of those I saw on the table that I am quite fond of. I found his Flickr page for those who wish to see more of Simon's work...

BTW...he shoots with a K-1. I wonder if he is a member here?
