Where can we get an MTF bench?

Question: We’re starting our own custom lens shop here in the UK – and the last thing we need before we finally open shop is an MTF bench. Where can we get one of those?

Answer: Optical test benches are pretty easy to come by as they are an important piece of equipment in the lens manufacturing industry. But I have to admit, shopping around for one that best suits your needs can be like looking for the best air conditioning units in frozen Antarctica.

You’re best served searching for a good MTF test bench online. I did a quick search for you and found a company in Oxfordshire (I don’t know if you’re anywhere near there) called Image Science that provides several MTF benches for different spectral ranges. Give them a call; they might be able to help you with what you need. You’ll find their phone number on their official website www.image-science.com. Good luck!
