MORE TOOLS

The most detailed lens coverage and camera comparison tool on the web.

It offers the following practical information in a visual format:

  • Checking whether a lens covers a sensor format
  • Comparing the field of view for a lens on a given sensor format
  • Comparing sensor data
  • Accessing lens data
  • Seeing which focal lengths to use to match a B camera to an A camera

We would suggest that you use this as an initial guide; although this tool can show coverage of each lens, we still strongly recommend that you shoot your own tests as this will not show other characteristics such as resolution fall-off and aberrations towards the edges.

All images have been taken with a medium format camera and with each lens, so please note that your results may vary depending on the latitude of your camera choice and differences in manufacturing tolerances of the lens used.
