This a comment for this page on the website

Cameralabs in review of nikon 24-85 vr  mentioned that it compares well with Tamron. I hope your test of nikon 24-85 vr on D3X or D600 coming soon.

After holiday sales, I got D600 with 24-85mm VR lens and very happy with my choice of full frame DSLR and quality of the lens. Since than I am checking daily your website with hope to get DXOmark scores on that lens on D600 or D3X. There are a lot of those lens used and tested already with conflicting reports from different testing websites on quality of that lens. My friend bought 5D Mark III with 24-70mm 2.8L lens and we went to photo trip together. When we compared and discussed photos from that trip we agreed that overall quality of the equilalent photos is very close. Being an engineer I am waiting for numerical confirmation. I am pretty sure that the scores will be high. I generally agree with your testing results and your test data are are helping me in my future lens selection.

Are you going to test 24-85vr or any other lens on D600?

I am expecting 24-85mm VR test on D600 to come out this week as you promised in last post. A lot of people would like to see new 18-35mm 3.5-4.5 G ED tested too. I trust DXO labs tests for my lens selection, because I need to make decisions in few days. Thank you.

Still waiting for 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR  and new 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 results. Cameralabs demonstrated that 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR has better  resolution than Tamron 24-70 2.8 at infinity. My new 18-35 f3.5-4.5 way better than 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR even without VR. Contradictory to your conclusion that 5D mark III is  almost a match to D800 in image quality, I think it's probably will be a numbers match to D600 with consumer zooms .
