Trust Your Eyes - Independent Camera and Lens Testing
Different F-Stop, different quality!
Judge for Yourself!
About Trust Your Eyes
Identical setup – comparable - transparent
There are numerous camera tests on the market, many of whom in our opinion suffer from various problems:
- Many bodies are tested with just kit lenses of lower quality, not nearly fit to show the full potential of the tested camera.
- Often visual inspection and metering data lead to totally different results.
- Recurring advertising by manuafcturers leads to a certain dependency for testing magazines. This influences the quality and honesty of test results.
- Some parameters are very subjective, testers might judge them different from what potential buyers might feel.
