Visual overload
Sensory overload as well with Thai, Indian restaurants beside local Japanese eateries along colorful Dotonbori!
Very late afternoon shot, the neon signs already lighted up.
There's a plethora of camera gear review sites on the internet these days, many are click-bait sites in masquerade.
Some sites review "absolute" lens quality on an optical bench with a single consistent sensor while other sites test lenses on the latest camera bodies the lenses were designed for. Different pros and cons but it is important to know the difference.
Total system output makes the most sense since the lens can't take photos on its own and generally can't be used optimally on mounts it was not designed for. Comparing lens quality across different generation camera bodies however is meaningless as many review sites do not update their reviews with the newest camera bodies.
Synthesizing lens quality down to a couple of numbers can also be very misleading, especially when it comes to Zooms.
The lack of consistency in approaches in reviews can get very confusing.
End of the day, best to exercise patience and not buy any gear on release, wait for the opinions of real users (not those on cameramakers' payroll) after using the gear under field conditions.
Post processing exercise 24Nov21, 3 years after this was originally uploaded, obvious improvement.
