We always have questions on super zooms, 50mms, kit lenses, all in one walkabout zooms. Why not we just incorporate a lens shoot out every outing?
A picture speaks a thousand words (or lies depending on you disposition )
I'm thinking of starting off with 85mm primes and those in like focal length (ie. short telephoto)
I have a M85 and FA85, so for this round, I will bring out the FA85.
I am looking out for ppl to bring the following to the outing to compare :
1. 77tld
2. Jupiter9
3. Takumar 85/1.9 and 1.8
4. A85/1.4
5. DA70
6. K85/1.9
7. M85/2
8. Samyang/Bower/Polar 85/1.4
9. Helios 40-2 (added)
Don't worry, I will only test the lens on my camera for a short session (10-20min) at the outing meet up point and returned immediately.
Do chip in any other 'like' focal length lenses if you are interested in the results. (Eg. 55-200 at 85mm)
The test format is simple.
1. Lens sharpness
a. wide open
b. stopped down to equal other lenses in the test
2. OOF rendering
3. Sample shots at :
a. small objects
b. shoulder to head portrait
c. half body portrait
Edited : added the Helios 40-2
