Beware the moon

#0016

Here is a sample of an upcoming project. Lens reviews. Not unfamiliar territory I know however I though seeing as I spend a good deal of my time using lenses to film things I should take it upon myself to understand a little more about how they work. The above image was shot with a 500mm prime lens, so not the nifty fifty but the abundant five-hundred. That was awful, I do apologies.

More to the point, I hope to cover the following about each lens I review:-

Image quality

o    Sharpness – in the centre of the image and the corners

Image artefacts
o    Vignette
o    Distortion
o    Onion effect
o    Chromatic adoration

Construction material 

Ergonomics

Operational behaviour
o    Zoom
o    Tactile Switches

Features and extras 
o    Vibration Reduction
o    Auto Focus
o    Filter threads
o    Lens hood

Lens weight

Now I may not be able to test all of these for every lens and I may add things to this list if I think of more point to discuss between now and the reviews release. This should be interesting on way or another.
