Pictures are looked at. They are visual. We do not have to rely on descriptions, we could judge for ourselves.

This would be very interesting.

A lens is always the result of compromise, a expensive f1.4 lens will be more difficult to design then a f2.8 lens, a zoom lens will have many elements and may have poorer resolution. But f2.8 lenses may be excellent.

There are so many other factors involved in a photograph that have a far bigger effect on the quality and look of the picture than the lens.

The most important is basic exposure and focus.

If you like I will post pictures taken with Sigma and Nikon lenses and you can tell me which is which?
