How to Test Lenses is an essential part of the prep process. Finding the exact emotion of your story that you are trying to tell is all about tests and seeing how your lens resolve’s, how it flares, how it vignettes naturally, where is its sweet spot, how much does it distort, are the questions you will answer but only by testing and going down the rabbit hole.

In this course, you’ll learn how to test your lens. What are all the tests that you need to perform and how these tests inform your final decision.
