4X Objective Test Part Two - High End Objectives

Post by RobertOToole »

Part two of my 4X comparison is online!

Just the shooting section took me hours and hours over 3 days but it was all worth since I have discovered more than I thought I would.

During this part I found my favorite Nikon Objective, and its not a PlanAPO!

4X test
Camera: Sony ?6300, model # ILCE-6300.
Flash: Godox TT350s wireless flash x 2
Wireless controller: Godox X1s 2.4G wireless flash transmitter

For the test, the infinity corrected objectives were mounted on my 52mm studio set-up with a Sigma 200mm tube lens, the Sigma Life-Size Attachment diopter.

With 33 lenses tested there was way too much data so I broke the comparison up into 5 groups.

1. 4X For Less Than $100
2. High-End Objectives
3. Enlarging Lenses Compared at 4x
4. High-magnification macro lenses at 4x
5. 3x and 5x lenses tested at 4x.

All comments and questions welcome.

Robert
