It’s relative at the time of writing to everything else in that lens class I’ve used, and everything in general, so it might change if a new ‘super lens’ is introduced – this is why the date is also important. The rating (number out of ten, with ten being the best for that category) – is a highly subjective measure of what I think of a lens.
