[18:41 Wed,29.July 2020 by Thomas Richter]

ShareGrid has released the latest part of its comprehensive series of tests of full format lenses. The "Ultimate Full Format Lens Test" consists of 20 of the most popular full format lens sets (from ARRI, Canon, Leica, Leitz, Nikon, Sigma, Tokina, Zeiss and others) available to filmmakers. It is now possible to view over 300 4K videos of the 85 individual full format basic lenses viewed and to compare them with each other at different T-Stops using the handy Quad-Player. The Quad-Player allows the simultaneous playback of up to 4 videos to enable direct comparisons between the different lenses.
