What exactly are we looking at here?

The red 17-50 vs a canon zoom, shot and posted with the same settings?

 

[Kemalettin Sert]

red lenses are always green...

OK 17-70 vs canon Prime 24 L and 50 1.4 and cimko mt 28 2.8
I thinking of buying red lenses so a friend of mine brought his red and mine canons, and we compared them at the same f stop and the same mm, we set the red to 24mm or 50mm or 28mm.
I wanted to see it my self will the difference in quality of the image.

Thanks for the test. Might I suggest before putting your money down to test a wider apertures to see how the bokeh and flaring compare.

Hey Greg you should check your tint settings in camera.. something looks off with you're colors.

 

[greg filipkowski]

it's the nd filter on one of the reds that had the 17-50 on

 

[Martin Weiss]

You should really use the same filters (or better: no filters at all) if you want to compare the lenses.

 

[Glen Powell]

It's a flawed test right from the start if you are using different filters in front of the lenses - why would you do that?

 

[greg filipkowski]

Because we wanted to shoot by the boats in sunlight, so had no choice but to use nd's, the lenses were at f22 on one shot and it was overexposed. This test is really for my self, and I do see that reds are sharper,

So then why wouldn't you use the same ND's for all shots?

Hi Greg,

May I suggest a test with 2 of the same kind lenses: put a Canon mount on RED and you will be set to go.
As has been written before, you should really use the same settings (ISO, F stop, focal length etc), the same brand/strength filters and maybe do a white balance either before shooting or in post. If you have 2 tripods, start both cameras at the same time. Your split-screens will turn out to be more conclusive.
good luck!

they were the same f stop, both cams one was pl one was ef
