Thus, I try to include a benchmark standard in every test set. If the results for the benchmark lens are consistent across test rolls of film across time, then the balance of the tests on those rolls are probably valid. Secondly, I use TMAX 100 developed in Dektol. Slow high resolution slide film is easier to use and read, but it is much more costly and time consuming than developing TMAX in my darkroom. I use TMAX 400 shot at 600-800 to ensure no camera shake.
Grain is a bit higher, but the camera shake is eliminated.
I understand that Pop Photography is converting over to using Tech Pan film for its resolution tests. I have an old piece of masonite that I hang on my garage door. On it I have mounted the center chart and the two upper corner charts set the correct distances apart. I don't bother with the lower corner charts. All I do is hang the panel on the door, back up far enough so that the two corner charts appear in the corners of the viewfinder and then shoot.
