I'm testing out the Batis 40 at the moment. I have more lenses in the 40-58-range than I'm likely to use enough so I'm probably going to have to get rid of at least one. Great excuse for some testing.
For the first test I wanted to see how they handled a portrait semi-close indoors. I often shoot people indoors at this range for work. So I inspired by the 100STF bear-test that was posted here earlier I took some "portraits" of my daughters horse-toy and upped the distance incrementally for the longer lenses to try and keep things equal. I failed, but I'm not pretending this is a scientific comparison - so yeah. I shot all the lenses at f2 on the A7R3. The Batis 40 was shot at about 80 cm, which with firmware 2 means it was actually wide open.
All images were taken at the same shutter speed and ISO, and equal WB (4350+25).
The lenses used were the GM24 (crop mode), Helios 44M, FE 50/1.4, Nikkor 58/1.4G, CV40 and the Batis 40.
I'll post some 100% landscape at infinity-comparisons for sharpness and contrast and and bokeh-comparisons later. Windy conditions with dust in the air made outdoor-shooting less than desirable today, but I'll try my luck tomorrow.
Can anyone see which is which here based on web-sized (1920px) images without actually looking at the file names?
