B&H: How to Test Your Lens

So, you just bought a shiny, new, and maybe expensive, lens for your camera, and being the savvy consumer, you did your homework. You pored over customer reviews on the B&H Photo website, read online reviews splattered all over the Internet, grabbed a copy of every photo magazine that reviewed the lens, bookmarked dozens of websites, and now have the lens’s MTF curve charts burned into your retinas.

Now, your lens is here and it is time to go out shooting. Honestly, not a problem. Your lens should be as good as it can be and, as photographers, we want to take photos. So, stop reading and go out and make some photographs!

"How to test your lens?"

Take it outside and use it!

Sorry, having just received a new lens today, I couldn't resist

That tool looks useful. Will play around with it.... on a cloudy day. Which isn't today.
