Yes, more film and time. But you could just add it on to your latest
lens test. Or test that 200mm f/4....
How many shots do you take per lens?

The 1000 should be easy. Las Vegas has a lot of desert. For the 8mm,
you just need a spherical target...
A suggestion: when you update the list, how about a note about the
new tests at the top of the list, e.g.
Updates:
2000 May 23 - 50 mm f/0.95 Canon best: A+
2000 May 23 - 180mm T/1.3 Zoomar best: B-
2000 May 23 - 110mm f/0.75 Kodak Ekta best: B
2000 May 23 - 28mm f/1.4 F-Nikkor best"A
and delete when it gets too full.
