Today, regarded as a science in photography, the role of the lens and sensitizer is important. In this research, we manufactured simple test lens with a various diaphragm which is based on the general purpose lens, and measured the quantity of light and flare. The objective of this study is to figure out the characteristics of our test lens and maximize its usefulness. The results showed that (1) The quantity of light through the lens was not constant. (2) As for flare, its value was consist. (3) Our lens had the characteristics of the soft lens and (4) It had much chromatic abberation. Therefore, We found that a hand-made lens is to acquire visual image such as the effects of a specialized lens.
