Methods used with SFRplus chart, Light box exposures and Imatest Master 3.7 Tests conducted with the SFRplus chart were photographed with
illumination from two modeling lamps each at 45 degrees angle. The images
were taken as raw files with a Panasonic GX7 camera at ISO 200. Raw files were converted to high resolution tifs
with Adobe Raw Converter. Tif's were analyzed with
Imatest Master.
Images
were analyzed with a 13 region of interest pattern. MTF50 values were
summarized as a weighted mean (center - 1.0; part-way - 0.75; corner -
0.25). Central, midzonal and corner MTF50 values were determined as well as distortion and chromatic aberrations with Imatest Master. |
