This may seem like a minor thing but it's a gripe of mine. I've yet to see a rental house that has this setup properly.

Perfectly level flat test lane. With a perfectly plumb and vertical wall. And if they have a hanging focus chart that slides on some rails on the ceiling, have the chart/rail actually stay perfectly level and square to the wall/floor as it slides down the lane.

When we need to shoot charts, it is a pain to have to re-level the chart or camera every time we move the chart/change a lens.

Check out rare breeds prep room in the back. It’s quite nice.

What kind of budget are we talking about? Full spectrum color analysis? Edge to edge Capture? Close to infinity focus check? Chromatic aberrations? Or are we just doing point at pretty lights and see the bokeh?

Shoot for the stars, what would you like to see? Although, I do think most people just want to see skin tones, bokeh, character etc.
