Blind testing the sharpness and bokeh of three lenses - try it out!


So I took pictures of still life of three different subjects using three different lenses.The lenses are:Canon 50mm f/1.4 USMCanon 50mm f/1.2L USMSony 24-105G F/4 OSSI'm testing to see how well the prime lenses perform stopped down to f/4.0 compared to the sony zoom lens and I'm also testing the two prime lenses separately in terms of their rendering of bokeh. I would love if people here were involved in this really silly but informative test. I've already asked a few of my friends and a couple of my family members, but it's time to get some real photographers involved.Lens sharpness test images:Set 1Set 2Set 3Note that A, B, and C are not consistent from one set to the next. This is to ensure that you don't retain a "favorite" from one set to the other. For each set, pick which one is the sharpest.Bokeh test images:f/1.4f/2.0f/2.8f/4.0For this series, A and B are the same lenses for each set, you're just picking which one looks better to you at each aperture. Apologies for the desktop popping up on the right hand images, my cute cat moved my mouse during that setup, and I neglected to turn off the monitor out of laziness.All pictures were taken with the sony a7ii, either on a tripod or sitting in relatively the same location each time. The canon glass is adapted via the Sigma MC-11 adapter, which can unfortunately only go down to f/1.3. via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2TaRAaB
