Today, we’re diving deep into lens characteristics and performance of the Canon “New” FD 24mm F2.8, backed by quantitative analysis using the Lens Analysis Suite (LAS), a open-source tool for measuring lens sharpness across different apertures.
I love vintage camera lenses. They have great character, and they’re cheap (sometimes). But the vintage lenses people want are mostly from the 1970’s and 1980’s, meaning that some of them are pushing 50 years old. I needed a way to compare lens sharpness across F-stops for an upcoming YouTube…
