Is it possible to improve the pipeline? Lensrentals with their new - and expensive - equipment can analyze a lot of lenses. Of course there are limitations - no body/image, focal length limitations. But it certainly is interesting to see the lens copy variation results.
I was once contemplating making an automated pipeline using micromanager or Endrov imaging analysis software (open source, can shoot Canon tethered) to measure IS performance of lenses. The idea was to shoot a certain sequence of images, and the software would do all automatic analysis. I guess Imatest can do batch analyses - but there might still be substantial human intervention. Question would be if improving the pipeline would help, but more reviews wouldn't harm.
