Comparison

Shot on a Sony A7II with a 50mm Minolta MC Rokkor-X PG 1.4 @ F/1.4 1/60s ISO 400.

Yes the lens has some noticeable vignetting when used wide open that I didn’t correct for, but it gets the point across.

All lights off at the same settings to use as a control.

Battery Powered

4.5VDC alligator clipped to the battery terminals.

My favorite flashlight (Dollar Store LED Tactical) at the widest setting with it’s lens on.

Favorite flashlight with the lens removed completely to make it a wider flashlight, to be more fair.

The studio lights that fill the desk.
