You don't need 2 million worth of equipment to test a lens. You only need a camera and 
some care. All the equipment in the world won't help you as long as the lens doesn't 
perform on a camera or film. Thats all thats matters. 
I'm sure their tests is fair. Its just that the result say aparently little about true 
performance of the lens with its intended use.
One other thing, the CDI tests are often conflicting with others. Are you saying CDI 
got it right and the others wrong? Isn't that a bit silly. I mean lots of labs own 
good equipment.
