It's been a while, I've found that the best lens reviews are on http://slrgear.com or (in the case of A-mount lenses) http://dyxum.com

Ken Rockwell is knowledgeable but has very strong biases and convictions which make him of little use as a reviewer. He also tends to post sensationalist notes to drive traffic to his site.

I understand that ... he used to have a lot of cameras before his kids were born. Now he has 4 cameras.

I am sure he reviews more lens from time to time. I am guessing he doesn't do much since he uses his most of time with his kids.

He usually visits the tours with other photographers... Tours Info here: http://www.kenrockwell.com/workshop.htm

I am sure there are more lens reviews sites all over the web.
