Looking on my lens shelf, I realized I had a fair amount of lenses in the 50mm range. 12, to be exact, between 40-58mm. So I decided to see which was sharpest. I haven\'t tested anything else, though I will eventually do bokeh between all 12 as well. Right now, I just tested center sharpness, since I didn\'t have time to do more. I will not evaluate rendering, since there\'s such variation, and as you all know, it\'s so subjective as to what each person likes.
This was just for fun...nothing earth shattering to conclude. The lenses include an old Petri 55/2, some Canon FDs, a Rokkor, Olympus OM Macro, a bunch of Hexanons and some native micro 4/3 lenses as well.
Edit:
Part 2 of my evaluation is now up, which looks at the edge of the frame. I took the advice of many and tested all at f/5.6. I was going to do that for the bokeh test anyway, so I just combined both. I will compile and post comments on the bokeh either tomorrow or Tuesday.
