The goal of a lens rendering series is to show the drawing style of a lens, which can include its sharpness, bokeh, field curvature, optical aberrations, chromatic errors and so on.
Because reduced sizes are of little help in visualizing this behavior, a lens rendering series is typically presented at very large image sizes. The ideal viewing platform for a lens rendering series is a 4K display or a laptop with a Retina display. Some web browsers are too sluggish to work well, the Apple Safari browser is strongly recommended.
