We have been building an exciting Visual Lens Database, I'm going to assume this post will get removed because it will be seen as advertising... If it doesn't, amazing- I'm happy to upgrade anyone with an unrestricted account to explore what we're building, and I'm excited to share this cool tool that's designed for filmmakers.

[CineTraits.com](http://CineTraits.com) \- It's essentially the world's first approach to a **visual** lens database that shoots lenses in repeatable 'scenes' to actually show users how these lenses render in real-world and controlled environments.

Our exterior scene is great for being able to see how it renders in a real forest with traditional backgrounds, and our exterior scene is great for seeing how the bokeh really actually works compared to other lenses.

We have a bunch of vintage lenses on there, mostly Canon FD, FDn, and FD L, We change the rotation of lenses every month, so some lenses will suddenly become free and available to look at. But if you're interested in exploring, let me know your email after making an account, and I can just upgrade you to Explore Unrestricted.

This is not just a passion project, it is something we're looking to do long-term, incorporating lenses from every manufacturer and every era.

If you do check it out, do check it out on desktop, it's a much much better experience. It's very much an early beta, but the concept has been proven. And a lot of our tests on there are a little rough around the edges still, but there's still quite a lot of fun stuff to explore.
