We've been talking about a few fast lenses in other threads, and I said I'd run a more structured test of the focus characteristics for some of my fast lenses. Below are the results. All were shot wide open. I wanted to get an idea of the characteristics of the focal plane, drop-off, etc. so I could understand how to best use these lenses at wide open aperture. Hope they're helpful to others as well.
