Okay. But in the catagory Pentax SLR Lens Discussion the Pentax 6x7 certainly qualifies as a candidate since I didn't see any other reference to format. From my film use perspective I think, oh, Pentax also makes small format lenses?

I would say test sharpness, both at maximum aperture and stopped down. Also contrast (for extra points, do it both with and without lens hoods), bokeh, flare resistance, overall image quality. Include the photos for others to look at and make their own evaluations, but also draw your own subjective conclusions about the more subjective of the qualities listed above. Also evaluate ergonomic aspects, like manual focus feel and ease of use. Potentially evaluate on film, as well as digital.

Great collection.

I am feeling a little unworthy now.

Of all the lenses shown, I only have the M 50mm f/1.4, M 50mm f/1.7, M 50mm f/2 and A 50mm f/1.7.

But then, I have one of these. So there is that to make me feel better.



The M 50mm f/4 macro is also missing from the collection.

Edit: there was an F 50mm f/2.8 macro as well.

I've gotta wonder why you want to test them. Just enjoy using them! Most lenses are better than most photographers. 😀

especially if you are limiting yourself to only Pentax-manufactured, k-mount, film-era lenses....

Is there a way to determine MTF at home with some software and charts at reasonable prices?
