This is amazing. Now I don't want to watch any other lens tests if she's not there.

[@julioandres4215]

This is actually such a really good way of watching a lens test without being boring. This is truly amazing. What did you thought about the rehoused FDs? I'm building a set, really like them, but a bit hard to match them in look 😅

[@CitiznLame]

Best lens test hands down.

the 20mm doesn´t look sharp at all, right?

[@offshoot]

Define sharp :) The 20mm has pretty strong coma, which might make it look softer in some frames. Here are a couple of 4K grabs from the source that have no YT compression to give you a better idea: res.cloudinary.com/offshoot/image/upload/v1704343525/Share/canon_fd_20mm_grab_ssuakx.jpg res.cloudinary.com/offshoot/image/upload/v1704343521/Share/canon_fd_20mm_a35_grab_vg3der.jpg The second one really shows the coma. It definitely isn't the sharpest lens, but that's a big part of why the FDs are popular.

[@simondrescherdop4969]

thank you so much for sharing! I´ve got some rehoused fds myself and was wondering if it´s only my 20mm, but your 2nd pic explains quite clearly. I also noticed that wide shots with much detail seem much softer than close-ups on 20mm. the file name says "a35", but it´s shot on mini lf, right?

[@offshoot]

The first frame was from the Mini LF test and the second was from the Alexa 35 test we did - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZXEmKCcj9Zqb6c
