I found the last statement very interesting, see if you catch it:
"As appropriate, we shoot these with both full-frame and sub-frame bodies, at a range of focal lengths, and at both maximum aperture and ƒ/8. For the ''VFA'' target (the viewfinder accuracy target from Imaging Resource), we also provide sample crops from the center and upper-left corner of each shot, so you can quickly get a sense of relative sharpness, without having to download and inspect the full-res images. To avoid space limitations with the layout of our review pages, indexes to the test shots launch in separate windows."
Either that is a typo, or they have some sort of conversion adapter for another brand of body, don't you think? Or, they have themselves a FF pre-pro body. I doubt it is the latter because they only show the K10D as a test body, which to me is pretty lame. They should be able to afford a K20D body, if anything to see how well the lens resolves micro contrast, and its overall resolving power.
Either way they seem to come to near the same conclusion as DPR only they manage to do so without some sort of typical DPR backhanded nose upturned comment, which is why I always prefer I.R.'s reviews to DPR's.
