>>4186435I did that list with the help of 3 other photographers so it doesn't come out biased. Also, the list isn't yet complete, I still have to add 7 more lenses that we all tested individually. As for Canon and Fuji 200mm not being on the list, in case of Canon, the 2/200 is superb but it's not as good as the lenses on this list, this list is only reserved for ''The Best of The Best Ever Made'' - if I were to put every single amazing lens on the list, the list would have 300+ lenses and there really wouldn't be a point in making such a list - that's why I got the idea to make a list of only ''THE BEST'' lenses for each manufacturer, to help people narrow down their search when looking for which lenses to buy. That's the sole purpose of why I even decided to go through with making that list and when completed, that list will be the most accurate to this date - that you can find anywhere on the internet, that is.
We spent thousands and thousands on renting lenses, some of which were EXTREMELY hard to get our hands on (e.g. Cooke, Panavision, Angenieux, Zeiss Cine, etc...) and we had went through, probably just over 600 lenses over the past decade, both old and new, doing both real world shoots and studio chart tests with them. (And that's me saying just over 600 for the sake of this conversation, in reality, the number is probably closer to 650-700 lenses...)
As for the Fujinon 2/200, I haven't tested the Fujinon 2/200, in fact, I haven't tested most APS-C lenses, focus of my list is for four of us to test Full Frane and Medium Format lenses only - but if an APS-C lens is really, really good, we will get it, test it and then possibly slap it onto the list too if it's worthy of it - just like we did with a couple of those Fuji XF lenses and the Mitakon 0.95/35 for both FF and Fuji APS-C.
Once the list is done, I'll post it all over the place to help people filter down hundreds of trash lenses.
