Reviews

Vintage lens reviews containing as much history and technical information as I can find about various interesting lenses – both vintage and modern. Carl Zeiss, Mamiya, and other makes reviewed in detail, with lots of sample images.

I usually spend between 1-2 weeks with a lens, exclusively using it to take sample pictures. In the meantime, I dig out as much technical or historical information about it as I can. I also measure the lenses for radioactivity and do a write up of all the findings.
