I’m going to use a mixture of graphs and tables today, but please give me some feedback on what seems clumsy, what seems good, and what I’ve left out that you’d like to see.
LEICA 50MM SUMMICRON R TRIAL
Please take it for what it is – a beta trial of a new technology we’re learning to work with. Consider this a very preliminary effort since I hope the next set of tests we do will have a far better presentation. So I’ve decided to go ahead and post using the fairly crude methods I’ve come up with so far. In the meantime, I still have a bunch of information about those 50mm lenses I want to tell you about. I’m pleased to say over 40 people are currently working with another set of data, trying to help me find a good way to overcome my mathematical and graphical limitations to handle all of this data. Finally I asked the good Geeky people who tend to read this blog to help out. But I’ve never processed and graphed this much data before - the optical bench generates a lot more numbers than Imatest. Usually I have the write up done within a day or two of testing. I did one comparison involving Leica lenses a long time ago, but Leica lenses are difficult to test in our Imatest lab. It’s nothing to do with Imatest or the lenses simply that mounting and aligning rangefinder cameras in a testing setup designed for SLRs is difficult and very time consuming. Well before our Imagemaster optical bench was delivered, I knew what I wanted to do first: compare some Leica lenses with the best SLR lenses on a level playing.
