Eclair Cameras: Super 16 Zooms

[Michael Welle <wellem@bellsouth.net>]

Thanks so much for your input.  The one bit of information that it seems 
you cannot find on the web is objective information about the 
differences between the Super 16 zooms out there.  For example, I have 
heard that the Angenieux 11.5-138 T2.3 can resolve 200 lines per 
millimeter at the center of the image--and that makes it the ultimate 
zoom lens.  But when it comes to other zoom lenses these tests have not 
been posted or perhaps even tried.  If you go to Slow Motion Inc.'s 
website it describes the Elite Series lenses as having 200/70 lines per 
millimeter (whatever this means?).  But these are primes.  So I guess 
what I'm trying to ask is does anyone know how much better one zoom lens 
is over another in terms of an objective measure like lines per 
millimeter.

I'm pretty sure the Angenieux 11.5-138 is at the top of the list but 
where do other lenses like the Zeiss 11-110 T2.2 come in, or the Canon 
8-64, or 11.5-138 or the Cooke 10.4-52 and then what about the 
resolution of adapted zoom lenses Cooke's 10.8-60 and the Zeiss 
12-120T2.4.  

What is the image hierarchy?

What is the best bang for the buck in a Super-16 zoom?
