Imaging Resource

Compact Cameras, Point-and-Shoot Reviews

www.imaging-resource.com

Has scrapped all its wonderful old lens reviews that included lens laboratory tests.


I'd especially check out Canon EF as they can be adapted to M43 cameras but it now look like all the old reviews, including cameras & tons of test images, have been eliminated.


Maybe someone knows otherwise.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Have you visited Optical Limits? They have many lens reviews going back years.

Hi Paul, yes, thank you, at least they kept their information when changing from Photozone.de

I just wish imaging-resorce had done the same. The lab tests were a ton of work & it was possible to see how the lens characteristics graphics changed with aperture & with the length if it were a zoom lens.

Today it's mostly videos that are all talk, plus lots of arm waving like they're semaphoring something justifyingly important. The actual performance of the lens is just a bunch of overused adjectives. If you're lucky there's a link to some of photos that come with a complete absence of technical data. It's pure mediocrity at its best.

There's still DXOMARK & LensTip, for the moment.

Try TDP. Actual images.

Their camera review data was always superior to anything else anywhere, with their timings of af speed, shutter lag, etc. And their image comparison that let you compare cameras through 10-15 years with the same photo at all iso ratings. I'll have to go and check, but is all this info gone forever now? A huge loss if so.

The old camera reviews had also been modified to its recent form: thousands time simplier, mostly moved onto manufacturers' information instead of own lab testing. :-(

E.g., the good old low light AF ability test, power on time, image writing speed etc etc... These once very valuable information has gone :-( .

So sad - this level of testing was iconic - unrivaled today by a large margin. Really sad.

I noticed my bookmarks to their lens reviews were not working some time ago. They had the best, most accurate lens reviews I have ever seen, & also the most readable and digestible presentation. This is a real loss to me.

Worse IMO is that the Comparometer is gone. Unconscionable.

Only they have the STF version of the new Sony 100mm Macro. (?)
It's all really sad, that face page could be any site on the net, ouch.

If you haven't deleted those bookmarks already, I suggest you try putting "https://web.archive.org/" before their respective addresses. Odds are that'll be enough to make them work again.

Great site outside of being quite biased. Great if you shoot Canon or Sony.

The pictures are biased?

 

[Bob A L]

The brand coverage. I go there because I use a Sony and much good information there for Sony. But nothing there for my Nikon's. Thus biased toward Sony and Canon.

It is not a bias. It is a site reviewing Canon and recently, Sony. The bias would be reviewing Nikon as well but in a biased way.

That’s is really sad. I assume the hosting of the graphics was more expensive than normal hosting? I like the way that IR discussed print size for each camera at each iso. Very honest it was clear years ago that most cameras were good enough
