I’ve been a fan of dpreview ever since a friend introduced me to the site. Yesterday they launched a lens review section, well needed in my opinion, with 4 reviews at the time of writing. You can read about the technical end of the lens review process, as well as the development of the new section here. Here’s an excerpt:

At the heart of the reviews is a unique interactive ‘widget’ has been designed to present the test results in a way that allows visitors to experiment visually with variables such as focal length and aperture and see immediately the effect such changes have on overall image quality, and to compare the performance of different lenses. The user-friendly presentation ensures that even those with limited technical knowledge of optics or digital imaging will be able to use the reviews.
