Calling for photographers: I'm adding photographs for every camera, lens and accessory listed. Since I actually own "only" 6 or 7 lenses myself, I will need some support with this task. If you like this page and the idea behind, feel free to take good quality pictures of your lenses and send them in.
 
General guidelines:
 

• All pictures should show the item on a plain white background (or at least a grayscale one).
• Use a lens between 50mm and 105mm with apertures of F8 or slightly above for maximum depth of field at best sharpness.
• Set the focus on the most relevant imprint (that is for example in the case of the EOS 350D the "350D", not the "Canon").
• Use a tripod for maximum sharpness.
• Use soft lighting to eliminate hard shadows on and around the object. Try to prevent reflections of your lights on the object.
• Do not mix lenses or cameras with accessories not being originally delivered and designed for, even if it does fit.

Additional guidelines for ...
 

• ... lenses: The pictures should show the lens with as many as possible original accessories, full front ring imprint and each of the side views containing features or imprints (if possible and relevant the pictures should show a 360° view of the lens' barrel).
• ... cameras: The pictures should show the front, the top and the back views of the body (no lens attached).
• ... flashlights: The pictures should show the front and the back views.
• ... accessories: The picture should show the view of the accessory, that identifies the model.

Just try to show as many features in as few pictures as possible (i.e. zoom extension, focus extension ...). For special features extra shots might be taken.
 
Picture formats: Pictures can be sent in RAW, JPG (highest grade please) or other common formats and should meet a minimum size of 1200 x 800 pixels wide/panorama format (= please avoid high/portrait format at all). Important: If you do the post-processing, do not sharpen, since I may resize the pictures to fit my design, and sharpening has to be done after resizing (at best even don't cut, scale or resize at all).
 
Permission to use your photos: Along with your pictures please send a declaration like this:
 
 
See some example shots below. "Pending" means, someone is already after it. To see what's missing, simply refer to the main lists.
