Cine Lens Tests

Is there a cine equivalent to the excellent lens tests that dpreview and the digitalpicture publish? Specifically I want to compare sharpness at different stops, between different lenses. Distortion, abberation, and vignetting comparisons would also be useful.

Thanks,

James
 
I am working on a site that would be more like what you describe. As of now, nothing exists like that. Most tests are done on an individual basis and for good reason.

Tests are hard and filled with many variables and subjectiveness, that it's hard to bench all lenses to one standard and do it right. The best tests I have seen are done by Alfonso Parra, AEC at http://alfonsoparra.com/en/sec/press/research/area/Optics

He has only done tests on a couple lenses he was interested in testing. Although you will likely not find the lenses you were asking about, you will see how a proper and good cinema lens test can be done.
