Already have it bookmarked
With so many macro lenses i have, i would like to make a comparative test of them, can you give me suggestions about what test should i make?
i figured:
1. bokeh test
2. magnification test (photographing one cent coin)
3. sharpness test (print out same font in different sizes and see what is the smallest size certain lens can capture sharp)
but what else can i test? _________________ my tools:Oly E-M5 + 45mm/1.8 + Oly E-520 + 12-60 + 14-42 + 70-300 + Sigma 105mm + FL-50R + EC20 + SRF-11 ring flash

I think all above test is boring at least for me , I like to see nice images taken with different lenses as a test. _________________ -------------------------------
