目前，世界上有多家摄影杂志一直坚持刊登镜头测试方面的文章，并形成各自的风格与系列。虽然人们对这些测试报告看法不一，但不可否认，所进行的这些测试设备之先进，方法之科学，决非一般团体或个人所能为，其科学性是值得信赖的。但由于被测试镜头个体的不稳定性，测试条件的不同，尤其是测试内容侧重比例的不同，对同一镜头的评价各种测试报告间往往有所不同。摄影者应该综合比较分析，结合自己的需要和能力作出自己的购买选择。
德国的《彩色摄影》杂志（Color Foto）的测试报告是比较著名的。它只测试镜头的光学质量，而对镜头的机械质量，外观和操作性等均不作考虑。其测试方式可谓严格，依据MTF曲线（5/10/20/40Lp/mm）的反差（即再现亮部和暗部的能力，测试分值取自5和10Lp/mm，最高30分）和锐度（即解像率，取自20和30Lp/mm，最高30分），同一性（镜头离中心点越远，通常成像质量越差，即使离中心同距离的各点也会有差异，差异越小，镜头越好，取自20Lp/mm，最高20分），渐晕（画面边缘与中心相比亮度下降，最高10分）和畸变（由于视场范围内放大率不同而引起的直线被摄体向内或向外弯曲，最高10分）。但是他们不测试镜头的眩光和色彩传递性能。其各项得分数值取自画面中央，及离中央6.5，10.8，15.1，18.4和21.6mm各自的全开光圈和收小两档光圈。通常MTF曲线在全开光圈时会比较差，所以最大光圈相同的镜头之间才具有可比性。
该杂志以前的测试方法比较简单，可靠性相对后来的测试要低，得分数值一般也比后来的测试偏高5至8分，因而具有不可比性，因而我们这里所列的全部是94年12月以后的测试报告。
