Setup
Camera: Sony A6300, model # ILCE-6300
Sensor size: 23.5 × 15.6 mm. APS-C. 28.21 mm diagonal. 3.92 micron sensor pitch
Flash: Godox TT350s wireless flash x 2 with one Godox X1s 2.4G wireless flash transmitter
Vertical stand: Nikon MM-11 with a Nikon focus block

A series of images was shot with each lens in 10 micron steps, and the sharpest image was chosen for center, edge, and corner Photoshop at 100% actual pixel view. All images were shot as a single RAW files and processed in PS CC with all noise reduction and lens correction turned off, all settings were zeroed out (true zero) and the same settings were used for all of the images. All of the images shown here are single files.

This test is being broken up into sections for clarity. I am posting the lenses here in worst to best order.

Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 Scanner Lens at 2x vs Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 Scanner II lens at 2x.

The good news is that Minolta 5400 I and II versions are identical in performance, the bad news is that is was almost impossible to tell the files apart, so I am only going to post the center crops here.

To view any of the images in a larger size just click on any of these to open in a new window but the size depends on your browser to open at 1500px, right click on PC or two finger click on a Mac and choose open in a new Tab or new Window.
