Not sure why the author tested them all at different apertures when stopped down? Confused

I scanned over it at first, but he did clarify:
Quote:
With wildly disparate maximum apertures, I had a few options to examine them. Wide open, then all at the same aperture, or wide open and a certain number of stops closed down. I chose the latter. Since most lenses tend to be at their sharpest about two stops closed down, I took shots both wide open and two or so stops down. For stopping down, I stuck to whole f-stop numbers to make it easier, so the lenses are actually between 2 and 2.5 stops closed down

Interesting... but no Planar, no Tessar, no Meyer/Pentacon Orestor, no KMZ Helios 44 and absolutely not a single Nikon 50mm?

I like to see bokeh myself, it's one of the reasons I like old lenses - character.
