VERY HELPFUL Photo LENS COMPARISON TOOL for your future full frame lens purchases

[Nick Vera]

Been using this for the last couple of years. You can pick two lenses to compare. You will definitely find alot of surprises in lens comparisons. For example some of the Rokinon/Samyang lenses are sharper than some of the Canon L lenses and have less chromatic abberation. But there's other reasons to use a specific lens. Color Rendition and bokeh rendition are huge factors. But this tool is only for sharpness and purple fringing. And Bryan Carnathan does it well!!!! He also has detailed reviews!!!!

I've read a lot of good things about the Sigma ART series, but side by side with the others, yeah you can see a difference. Might have to hire these and take a look myself.

Thanks for sharing all the usual suspects in there (great to see Otus included alongside the ZE).. if only we had some similar comparisons with vintage glass, Leica R's etc.

@Josef - agree on the Sigma ART, read many good things but my curiosity is renewed with the visual comparison provided. Pretty outstanding performance (that hover over comparison treatment is GOLD)
