Not that QC was better years ago when Phil wouldn't have been caught
dead with a Pentax Lens...
If you are going to recommend current equipment based historical
purchases, you've invalidated your test. It's a subtle bias that sounds
plausible until you examine it critically. Andy either has no historical
perspective, didn't think it through or is biased, take your pick. As I
said spend a little time reading the Canon and Nikon Fora.

All manufactures send review copies of their equipment to large outlets

did extra special QC on the lenses they send out and Pentax just grabbed
them of the line. That would jibe with the whole marketing ans sales as
an afterthought mentality exhibited until just lately.
Another quote directly from Andy's post that answers the same concern:
"Given the fact that the Canon 50/1.4 USM and Nikon 50/1.4D I tested were
bought by Phil years ago through normal retail channels for camera testing,
this idea can safely be discounted."
