and if you include sigma, tamron and tokina, there's about 70-80 lenses from which to choose.
But I will offer this opinion: The forums on DPReview are about the least helpful resource I could possibly imagine.
The "discussions" on those forums are worse than are arguments between democrats and republicans.
The forums are nothing but a bunch of fan bois driven pissing contests and what is more often than not - uninformed and incorrect information - given by a bunch of idiots who have too much money and free time on their hands so they spend $5K on a 200mm f/2.0 lens in order to shoot nothing more than resolution test charts and the squirrels in their back yards.
that pretty much sums it up, and don't forget the paid shills who do a 'test' only to find what they set out to 'prove.' however, it can be quite entertaining at times, and every so often, there actually is some useful information.
