Kolari Mod's Improvements: A Summary of Tests


Update 3: Dedicated Section for A7RII.Mod lens test: Click Here

Update 2: Added A7RII Stock vs. Mod

Update 1: Added camera model for each test

Even though we already have a thread on the Kolari, going through 50ish-page to check for tests can be daunting for some . I certainly saw a lot of repeated questions. I\'m a strong believer of Kolari Mod.

So I create this thread to organize all the tests we have so far for any newcomer. I will link to all the future tests here in this first post.

Quick summary:

- Drastically improve the edges/corners of rangefinder (and film SLR) lenses, most notably below 50mm.
- Have no visible effect on vignetting and corner color cast
- Minor reduction in CA, most notably purple fringing
- Three iterations so far: 1st is normal thin glass, 2nd is humidity-resistant thin glass, 3rd is 2nd + anti-reflection coatings

Kolari Modded Camera’s DNG Dual-Illuminant Profile (To get your color right after the Mod)
Sony A7RII
Profile 1 (2nd gen. glass)

Sony A7
Profile 1 (2nd gen. glass)
Profile 2 (1st gen. glass)

Sony A7s
Profile 1 (2nd gen. glass)

For tests, I prioritize the more technical tests first. I limit max 5 tests for each lens. I put Jim Kasson’s tests in here as well.

Kolari Mod's Improvements: A Summary of Tests


Update 1: Added camera model for each test

Even though we already have a thread on the Kolari, going through 50ish-page to check for tests can be daunting for some . I certainly saw a lot of repeated questions. I\'m a strong believer of Kolari Mod.

So I create this thread to organize all the tests we have so far for any newcomer. I will link to all the future tests here in this first post.

Quick summary:

- Drastically improve the edges/corners of rangefinder (and film SLR) lenses, most notably below 50mm.
- Have no visible effect on vignetting and corner color cast
- Minor reduction in CA, most notably purple fringing
- Three iterations so far: 1st is normal thin glass, 2nd is humidity-resistant thin glass, 3rd is 2nd + anti-reflection coatings

Kolari Modded Camera’s DNG Dual-Illuminant Profile
Sony A7RII
Profile 1 (2nd gen. glass)

Sony A7
Profile 1 (2nd gen. glass)
Profile 2 (1st gen. glass)

Sony A7s
Profile 1 (2nd gen. glass)

For tests, I prioritize the more technical tests first. I limit max 5 tests for each lens. I put Jim Kasson’s tests in here as well.

Kolari Mod's Improvements: A Summary of Tests


Update 1: Add camera model for each test

Even though we already have a thread on the Kolari, going through 50ish-page to check for tests can be daunting for some . I certainly saw a lot of repeated questions. I\'m a strong believer of Kolari Mod.

So I create this thread to organize all the tests we have so far for any newcomer. I will link to all the future tests here in this first post.

Quick summary:

- Drastically improve the edges/corners of rangefinder (and film SLR) lenses, most notably below 50mm.
- Have no visible effect on vignetting and corner color cast
- Minor reduction in CA, most notably purple fringing
- Three iterations so far: 1st is normal thin glass, 2nd is humidity-resistant thin glass, 3rd is 2nd + anti-reflection coatings

Kolari Modded Camera’s DNG Dual-Illuminant Profile
Sony A7
Profile 1 (1st gen. glass)
Profile 2 (1st gen. glass)

Sony A7s
Profile 1 (2nd gen. glass)

For tests, I prioritize the more technical tests first. I limit max 5 tests for each lens. I put Jim Kasson’s tests in here as well.
