Try this one, instead.

It's interesting that the quality of the Nikkor 50mm improved with three specific cameras (D4, D600, and D800).

It was obvious (to me), that you went to the trouble of choosing similar cameras.

I was NOT commneting on YOUR choice of the example that you chose to post.

I was commenting on the "compasion lens testing".

A "test" for "comparison of the lenses" would be better, for example, if the tester used the SAME Nikon camera to make the comparison of the lenses - which that company does not seem to do.

That was; and is the point.

Yes: I only had a quick squiz last night but I was looking closer at many test results from that company this morning.

On another note -
Particularly interesting (for me) are the comparisons between the EF lenses used on (Canon) APS-C bodies and "similar" (Canon) 135 Format Bodies.

That website is actually quite an handy resource for such comparisons - at least for the theory of some matters and discussions of them.
