Transmittance Summary

Definitions of the parameters below

  • Range: This Galaxy 135mm f/3.5 transmits from 1-69% in an increasing slope from 331nm to 400nm.
  • TVISmax (%) = 85%
  • T400nm (%) = 69%
  • T365nm (%) = 50%
    This high percentage is an indicator for relatively short exposure time under typical UV-pass filtration peaking around 360 nm or when using 365 nm UV-LED illumination.
  • λUV HMvis(nm) = 358nm
  • λUV HM400(nm) = 354nm
  • λUV Zero(nm) = 331nm
  • These three values indicate that the lens is marginally working for some shorter wavelength UV-A photography with some filters and the few for this, suitable cameras.

The transmission measurement accuracy into the end of NIR range is less good due to limitations in the light source.

Filters and how to use them on this lens:

The front filter thread is a 46mm standard filter thread.

 

It is also possible to use rear mounted filters, either in lens mount adapters for mirrorless cameras like Sony A-series etc, or placed directly in the camera.

 


Handling and focussing:

TBD

 

Flare and sun-stars:

Sharpness:

TBD

 

Lens distortion:

TBD

 

Chromatic Aberration in UV:

TBD
