Lee Saxon Offline Upload & Sell: On The 180mm Shoot-out I'm putting together an extensive comparison test of primes at the 180mm focal length. I'll be measuring actual focal length at various distances, running Imatest, doing Diglloyd-esque A-B comparisons of static subjects (some of which will test resolution, some chromatic aberration) at various apertures, and doing "field testing." If I can figure out how, I'll even be testing transmission (finding actual T-stop, vs. claimed F-stop). I've acquired these lenses (multiple copies of most): Hasselblad Sonnar 180/4 CF Leica APO-Telyt-R 180/3.4 Nikon AF Nikkor 180/2.8D ED-IF Nikon Nikkor 180/2.8 ED AI-s Sigma APO-Macro 180/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Tamron SP180/2.5 LD(IF) Vernon Edonar 180/3.5 Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 180/4 SL Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 180/2.8 MC What other tests should I do? What other lenses should be included? (Unless FF mirrorless [other than the VG900, which would be an expensive hassle] happens soon, this will be done on a D800E, so Nikon's flange distance is a limitation) Feb 18, 2013 at 09:44 PM

Lee Saxon Offline Upload & Sell: On The 180mm Shoot-out I'm putting together an article with side-by-side comparisons and tests of some 180mm lenses. Hopefully I'll be doing this again in the future with other focal lengths. I have a Nikon 180/2.8 ED AI-s and just acquired a Leica 180/3.4 APO-Telyt-R. I may also pick up a Hasselblad 180/4 Sonnar. What other lenses should be included? (Unless FF NEX happens pretty soon, this will be done on FF Nikon, so flange distance is a limitation) Edit: (Probably Final) Line-up Includes: Leica APO-Telyt-R 180/3.4 Nikon AF Nikkor 180/2.8D ED-IF Nikon Nikkor 180/2.8 ED AI-s Sigma APO-Macro 180/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Tamron SP180/2.5 LD(IF) Vernon Edonar 180/3.5 Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 180/4 SL Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 180/2.8 MC Jan 25, 2013 at 02:44 AM
