Camera Lens Test C300 vs Sony FS7

[Todd Terry]

You have responses to your identical post in the Canon forum of several days ago… the general consensus being that it was a somewhat confusing question….

Hi sorry so new to this forum, however maybe my question was very confusing. Although is a Lens test not a camera test, but using two different cameras for the lens test. Hope this is clear.

Thanks

Okay Micolli, I’m going to say what we’re all thinking:

This is a dumb test to do if you want to learn anything about the lens.

You will learn only one thing, and I’m going to save you the trouble: lenses project the exact same light on every sensor. The picture will look different on each camera. These differences will be because the CAMERAS are different. The distortion, flare, and all the lens attributes, will look exactly the same, because a lens’ physical characteristics do not change when you put a lens on a different camera. The image will look slightly different because every camera manufacturer uses different color science. But all of the things you named, like distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration…they are because of physics. The lens bends the light a certain way, and focuses it on the sensor; the same light, including the same distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, etc, will hit the C300 sensor and the FS7 sensor.

Let me repeat, for clarity: the lens will perform exactly the same on the C300 and the FS7. You will only be measuring the difference between two cameras’ color science and gamma.

It is clear. The problem is that you don’t understand that it’s a waste of time on your part.
