Kinoptik 5.7mm f/1.8 Test (Ikonoskop A-Cam DII)

This was a general optics test comparing two Kinoptic f/1.8 lenses (t/2.3 equivalent), one with the back focus set at INFINITY, and the other with back focus set at 6ft. Both tests were purposely shot in direct bright sunlight (hence the glare/dust) to test the limits of the four-quadrant Ikonoskop A-Cam DII image sensor. Both lenses were stopped all the way down to "f/16", which varied slightly between the two. Both lenses were excellent, however we ended up preferring the optics and color replication of the first lens [BF=INF]. Much thanks to Charles Pickle at Serious Gear in Seattle (the best lens guy in the business) for sending these to us to try out.
