right!
building up the "final" lens test archive...

Retirement is time for hobbies, like lens testing, is'n't it? ;-)

Hey! I was hoping to get into that kind of pastime before I retire (which is quite a bit in the future). I was seriously considering that but then thought the expenditures were a little steep, even if I would've gotten all the lenses to test from friends and colleagues.

Thinking about it, the first pages of this website were created 25 years ago. It must have been around the year 1995 during my time at university. Of course, this was way prior to a dedicated domain.
So who can still remember the "Lens Test Archive" ...? ;-)

Time flies ...

I do - i think i started around 1998 or 1999. Of course that was before the site change and then the database corruption.

I can't remember a database corruption really ...

Awesome Klaus! Appreciate your hard work:-)

I remember the archive very well, and the user based review scores, it was one of my main resources when I started exploring digital photography (around 2002) and had absolutely no clue about cameras and lenses and photography in general

I think I set up my personal web page around the same time. But it hasn't seen many changes or any progress since then, it still says "This page is intentionally left blank"

[Rover]

So, has any of that content found its way to the present iteration of the site?

This one is as old as stone for sure:
