So, I saw Randy's (slipchuck) post on someone doing a test on different lenses or what not, and it's been in my mind for quite some time. anyway, had a quick talk with Adam on a rudimentary set up, and I tossed together something very very quick, and uncontrolled. I need to redo the test shoot and take more time with the set up and stuff, but at least this gives out an idea on how each lens is on the same subject.
