The "Ultimate Full Frame Lens Test"

[Postmaster]

This video is part of one of the largest lens tests ever conducted. "The Ultimate Full Frame Lens Test" consists of 20 of the *** Full Frame lens sets available to filmmakers. With over 300 videos in 4K, you can watch and compare each of our 85 individual Full Frame prime lenses at various T-stops using our one-of-kind “Quad-player.” The Quad-player allows you to simultaneously play up to 4 videos so you can experience the most thorough process in comparing cinema lenses…and in the comfort of your own home.

The "Ultimate Full Frame Lens Test" is Part 3 of "The Ultimate Cinema Lens Library" which now consists of over 500 videos and 40 sets of lenses to compare using our Quad-player. The library now includes full frame, super 35 anamorphic, spherical, vintage, modern, zooms, still lenses, and even an anamorphic adapter! The Ultimate Cinema Lens Library brings you one of the largest and most comprehensive lens tests to date.

As a free resource, we hope this will help you and others make well-informed decisions when it comes to what type of lens you want for your next project. Enjoy!

What a brilliant resource!

Of note, the Canon FD they speak of are the middle age FD, like the SSC breach locks, not the newer nFD or old FL. The SSC and again with the nFD have newer generations of coating so the flares may be different.

A few years ago I tried to build an SSC set, but getting good copies was very difficult, as was getting mounts to swap them to more modern passive EF. Also note, the nFD use a lot more plastic! Ultimate durability will be an issue as the little plastic rollers that move the focus helix fail, I have two 35f2 lenses suffering from this, and one 24f2 starting to suffer. Need to buy a lathe and start making parts.
