kathala Posted March 4, 2023 Share #1  Posted March 4, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, I've been a pro photog for 2o+ years, and have researched the gear part along with the creative part. One result of this has been a series of lists, initially created for my own edification. Perhaps some of you might be interested in them as well? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WKzZoHmyEaVV18iuB7oP-CcAxf_QLwAYhyL-vjYFIBE/edit#gid=0 If you know of lenses missing, or have any missing data, please feel cordially invited to leave a comment  Welcome, dear visitor!

Some good information in there, but chaotically formatted with sparse filling of data in cells making it impossible to sort or search. I did not find a column that corresponded to the 'pancake' ; e.g. physical length beyond flange < focal length  Edited March 4, 2023 by FrozenInTime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Vonn Posted March 4, 2023 Share #4  Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Rangefinders for me are all about the small lenses (anything 'big' is to me more appropriate to other mirrorless systems). So, I appreciate it - thanks @kathala.

UliWer Posted March 4, 2023 Share #5  Posted March 4, 2023 I maybe wrong, though I think some postings are missing in this thread. So once again: I do not understand why some spreadsheets should be posted in four different places in this forum The word "pancake" in the header does not relate to the "content" of these spreadsheets. As has been said above the order of entries in these sheets is completely messy. So I cannot find anything which might be of interest for this Forum in the sheets. If someone likes to fill out some Excel files he may do so but that's no reason for spamming.  2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I cannot find anything which might be of interest for this Forum in the sheets.  Are they "completely messy" or is this just an expression of the bitterness of the person making this claim? The table starts with concise introductions where and how to find any desired piece of information, sorted by focal length and speed, and each lens is listed with length, weight and any additional information available. But of course everybody is free to just ignore the entire project if their bitterness prevents them from enjoying it.

Each cell entry is truncated to a very short part and restricted to one line. In order to see the whole introduction, you have to painstakingly click on each cell in turn and try to read its contents in the data entry line. I presume that this is not how it was meant to be, but it is how it is, for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted March 5, 2023 Share #8 Â Posted March 5, 2023 A friendly suggestions: if you use the lowercase letter 'o' when you mean the numeral '0' (zero), you make the sheet fiendishly difficult to use. For one, no searching function will work for users who are not aware of this kind of typo. Also, all functions of the spreadsheet software having to do with numerical information are defeated.

Thank you very much @kathala Anyone having issues with the format or limitations of Google Sheets can export the spreadsheet to excel or any other format with the Archive/Download menu.

FrozenInTime Posted March 5, 2023 Share #10 Â Posted March 5, 2023 @kathala If you were to extract and save separately a flat list, containing just the M mountable lenses of short physical length, from your very comprehensive spreadsheet of all lenses, that would be very useful.
