Test Results - Large Format photographic lenses

Kerry Thalmann and I tested the lenses found in the table below.  The emphasis is on compact portable lenses for use in the field.  Comments regarding these tests follow the table.  More information can be found at the links provided above and below.  This has been a long project and I hope people find merit in being able to review this information on-line.

You can use the following to 'jump' to the desired section of this test page.

65mm thru 90mm

100mm thru 163mm

180mm thru 270mm

300mm and longer

Comments on my finding can be found here.

Please note: Take care in comparing lenses. Some were tested from f/11 to f/22, while others were tested from f/16 to f/32, and still others from f/18 to f/32.
