Lens Flare Tests across about 50 Lenses

Here is a set of tests across about 50 lenses, including both Pentax, and third party lenses that are either available in a Pentax compatible mount or can be remounted. If you click on "see all" up in the right corner you will see a 5 page list of the lenses.

Not really much of a test. The Pentax lenses used were old Takumars. I don't know if the other brands were up to snuff either. Coatings on the lenses of today are considerably better.

I presume that this test was for cinematographic purposes (hence the inclusion of Takumars but not K-mount lenses), where less flare is not necessarily a good thing...
