He didn't test for accurate focusing easiness, he tested if he could accurately focus at all with two lenses. Big difference. I suggested the constant aperture zoom test because its very easy to make a quick comparison and I think just about everyone knows that its easier to focus accurately at the long end vs. the wide end, the only significant difference being the focal length when you do that. jco
