Emmanuel, Klaus' site is a list of names with pictures, nothing more. I appreciate fully that it is a work in progress. If we're lucky and he's kind to us, it will improve.
Its nice to know that the objectives whose pictures he's posted exist. It would be nicer to know, as well, the range of magnifications at which each lens works well enough to be usable. And, of course, which ones not to acquire under any circumstances.
Klaus' "test" shots aren't particularly useful for this since they're all taken at the same magnification (10:1). 10:1 isn't even near the best magnification for most of the lenses "tested." In addition, I think his test target isn't quite appropriate. It is much easier to use a picture of, say, a USAF 1951 target on glass, than of a microchip to assess how well a macro lens separates fine details in the subject.
Remember, data is not always information.
Best regards,
Dan
