1. - The contributor has already paid more than any of the rest of so I see no
reason for them to pay any more.
2. - The testing procedure has been published on this list previously and would
not
be readily reproducible for most of us without purchasing items we may
otherwise not need.
2a - You would loose any consistency.
2b - I agree with you on this one.
As for testing a known lens - Ha!
A rough calculation of the weight of all Zuikos puts the combined weight at
over
31Kg (70.4lb). I think the shipping charges would be horrendous, not to
mention
the difficulty for Gary of finding even one example of some lenses let alone
multiples.
