Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / February 2005Kiev vs ______ lens testing.
http://kievaholic.com/lenstests2.html Done with a kodak digital back testing various kiev, bronica and 'blad lenses. This shows why some people like the mir 45 and others don't! :-) Also interesting to me how the 55mm shift Arsat compares to the 50mm Distagon, I knew the 55mm Arsat and the 60mm curtagon were both good lenses. The 150mm Tele-xenar looks good as well. He covers 30mm to 500mm lenses in the test.

Thanks for that, is there a similar site for the 35mm cameras like the FEDS and Zorkies with Industars and Jupiters??

Sharp as a tack in the center but very poor at the edges, where my Bronica wide angles are much the same throughout-which isn't great. > http://kievaholic.com/lenstests2.html > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > He covers 30mm to 500mm lenses in the test. Very interesting, thanks. The edge performance of the 60mm Curtagon, in particular, is spectacular. In this group, at least, the variation between lenses is _much_ greater than the sample variation between multiple samples of the same lens, when he had more than one to test - contrary to the oft repeated 'conventional wisdom'.

If the 6x6 image is taken to be 56x56mm, the circle of sharpness is about 80mm in diameter, and the corners are 40mm from the centre. That test reaches only about 28mm from the centre. The equivalent of a 4x4 superslide :-( Rotating the detector won't help, it should be shifted to the corner. -- Lassi > Bandicoot kirjoitti: >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Unfortunately you can't see the edge performance from that test. Why not? You can't see the corner performance but you CAN see the edge performance. SignatureStacey |
