What is the difference between I50 and I26?

[lmd91343]

What is the difference between an I50 collapsible and an I26? An I22 and an I26?

I have 2 I50s (collapsible) and one I22 (collapsible). I have been happy with these lenses.

I have two or three I26s that I have never used!

What differences can I expect? What should I look for in testing? Should I even bother to test?

I just tossed out 20 rolls, 720 negs of lens testing shots from the last couple of years. I kept my notes. I don't want to go thru the expense and time of testing EVERYTHING in a bake-off between these lenses. Anecdotal info is fine

HELP! PLEASE!

Thank you,
Lance

Similar performance to the collapsibles. I think a lot of people bypass these lenses because of its size, a J-8 stops down to f2 and is more compact.
