I shot for highlights, but due to contrast differences the tonal balance varies considerably.
A few are radioactive and have browning of the elements that I have found impossible to clear. The lenses themselves varied tremendously in terms of their rendering and even their color.
The camera was left in a fixed position recording the scene through my window of the yard, with the curtain sash in focus with the yard out of focus. Some cover full frame and others do not.įor this informal test, I chose an overcast day where changes in light would not be major (but it did change nevertheless). I also have an unknown Wollensak lens that was probably also made for some scientific purpose, but no literature seems to exist to define its intended purposeĤ) Projection lenses – these were made for projection of either 16mm or 35mm movies. I have shot on the full sensor and done some vignetting correction so that the full image circle can be clearly seen.ģ) Special purpose lenses – I have a number of lenses made for recording oscilloscope traces, and one made for some 1:1 purpose for a space technology laboratory.

For the sake of convenience, I have divided them into four categories:ġ) Standard photo lenses – for me this is any lens specifically made for a 35mm or medium format camera.Ģ) Cine lenses – I have a few C mount lenses of 75mm that were made for 16mm movie cameras. However these are mostly not standard 35mm lenses. These focal lengths would be considered short telephoto lenses on “full frame”, and that is what I used for this comparison: a Sony A7RII with a standard 24x36mm sensor. I definitely have too many lenses, and in preparation for thinning the herd, I decided to do some direct comparison tests to see the differences between various lenses that I have.
