For all you MTF-Chart peepers:
Dpreveiw has launched a new section dedicated to formal lens tests. they’ve only got 4 lenses up so far (2 of them are Pentax!) but their little interactive chart-thingee (that’s the technical term) is awesome.
As always though, I caution not to get too hung up on “the numbers” – they don’t always tell the whole story with a lens. One of my absolute favorite lenses (the da21 limited) has rather average MTF numbers (for a prime) but produces some spectacular images that just have a wonderful, hard to define “character” to them that looks great in print.
Anyway, check it out:
