The way the FE lenses are put together it doesn't surprise me at all ...That's odd, but DXO now has the 55 mm 1.8 FE lens as #10 on their ratings. Not long ago it was the #2 lens, almost scoring as high as the Otus. Even more strange is that it now placed behind many other lenses that it previously scored above!?
Maybe this is some kind of error on the DXO site but to be honest, I don't care if it's 500th on their list. This lens is spectacular!That's odd, but DXO now has the 55 mm 1.8 FE lens as #10 on their ratings. Not long ago it was the #2 lens, almost scoring as high as the Otus.

The ranking may be different depending upon the sensor on which it was tested. So did you take notice of the sensor/lens pairs ?That's odd, but DXO now has the 55 mm 1.8 FE lens as #10 on their ratings. Not long ago it was the #2 lens, almost scoring as high as the Otus.

I am not the expert here, but what you are describing sounds like the effect that Sean Reid was talking about regarding high contrast lenses like Zeiss.My issue is weak colour differentiation/discrimination. Meaning, when I shoot a scene with small color variations, like multiple buildings with different shadings of the same colour, the FE55 just doesn't give me the whole gamut the way my FE35 does. I found this on the 3 I tested, so it can't be a case of single bad lens. What are your findings? Do you cure this in PP?
