Does anyone know of a reasonably comprehensive lens database of older manual lenses, or if such doesn't exist, would it be worthwhile to compile such a list? For example, I currently have three 50mm manual lenses, Voigtlander f1.1, Pentax f2 and Minolta f1.4; I haven't yet compared the quality of these lenses on m4/3s, but intend to do so in the near future, as well as for the other lenses that I have.
If a database doesn't exist, I was thinking about creating one, listed by FL and brand, and then including all the ones that people have and giving some form of simple rating that would help others to look for and purchase similar lenses. It woldn't be difficult and a simple spreadsheet could be used and updated with user views on each lens. There are so many lens brands about, especially, ones that date back to the 60s and 70s, like Komura, that are supposed to be excellent, but there's no one place to find out first hand information.
This is what I had in mind:
Manual Lens Database
