Kiev vs ______ lens testing.

http://kievaholic.com/lenstests2.html

Done with a kodak digital back testing various kiev, bronica and 'blad
lenses. This shows why some people like the mir 45 and others don't! :-)
Also interesting to me how the 55mm shift Arsat compares to the 50mm
Distagon, I knew the 55mm Arsat and the 60mm curtagon were both good
lenses. The 150mm Tele-xenar looks good as well.

He covers 30mm to 500mm lenses in the test.

It confirms my personal experiences with the 50mm
Hasselblad lens as well. Sharp as a tack in the center but very poor
at the edges, where my Bronica wide angles are much the same
throughout-which isn't great.

Very interesting, thanks. The edge performance of the 60mm
Curtagon, in particular, is spectacular.

In this group, at least, the variation between lenses is _much_ greater
than the sample variation between multiple samples of the same lens,
when he had more than one to test - contrary to the oft repeated
'conventional wisdom'.

Thanks for that, is there a similar site for the 35mm cameras like the
FEDS and Zorkies with Industars and Jupiters??

Unfortunately you can't see the edge performance from that test. If the
6x6 image is taken to be 56x56mm, the circle of sharpness is about 80mm
in diameter, and the corners are 40mm from the centre. That test reaches
only about 28mm from the centre. The equivalent of a 4x4 superslide :-(

Rotating the detector won't help, it should be shifted to the corner.

Why not? You can't see the corner performance but you CAN see the edge
performance.
