Abstract
Different makes of lenses have different properties and characteristics that may render a lens good for one purpose and totally undesirable for another. Lenses of a given make and series often vary in quality among themselves. To obtain the best lens for a specific purpose it is necessary to subject the various makes to tests that will reveal their characteristics. Once the type of lens for a specific purpose has been chosen, it is of great importance to be able to select the best of that type from a group submitted by the manufacturer. Equipment and technic used in tests that make such discrimination possible are described. A few general hints and precautions are given that will aid in determining the characteristics most desirable for various purposes.
