Owen A. Davies Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I’m curious what key visual differences exist between these two lines of lenses and have only found so much info online. I know the Baltars date back to the 1930s whilst the Panchros I believe came to be around the 1920s. But how do these lenses, their impression, and their delivered image compare?

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted March 29, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 Not as comprehensive as Jarin's tests, and using Super Baltars rather than Baltars, but I compared a few vintage lenses and some more modern ones in this blog post: http://cinetinker.blogspot.com/2013/10/comparing-lenses-blur-characteristics.html I was trying to analyse the out-of-focus characteristics. Here are a couple of the Alexa screen grabs - a 35mm Super Baltar on the left, and a 32mm Ser II Speed Panchro on the right, both shot wide open (much better resolution via the link): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
