Got a very interesting image today.. about half of it looked like I shot thru a very red filter, the other half was fine.. split about right down the middle. Any thoughts?

    • In the old film days it made a lot of sense to invest in lenses and film than in the body.  Today, a more balanced approach is needed. Speaking of cheap lenses, what I have often noticed is great sample variability, I have two fairly good SEL 16-50 kit lens that came with my cameras, but I have tested one from a friend that was horrible, completely decentered. 
    • You are correct for the Voigtlanders I own - the aperture ring is mechanical. It tells the camera what the aperture is, but yeah, no control from the camera.
    • When I was shooting film, I used to buy an inexpensive body and pair it with an expensive lens and shoot with pro film. Now I'm doing the opposite.  The body cost so much, I've been trying to get by with inexpensive lenses with predictable results. I've also been buying some inexpensive Chinese made binoculars (actually, almost all binoculars are Chinese made) with pretty impressive performance and was hoping for the same with camera lenses. Seems I'm far more critical of the performance of camera lenses. I just ordered some lens test charts. Amazon.com : DGK Color Tools High Resolution 8.5x11" Chrome SD Professional Lens Test Chart, 3-Pack : Office And School Rulers : Electronics I don't have a really good lens to compare my cheap lenses against, but I can test them against each other and see where I need to do more shopping. There may be a price point where performance is both acceptable and affordable.  I'm hoping.  I'm pretty sure my Samyang 100mm macro lens is pretty good.  My Meike 50mm is pretty questionable.
