I spent a good amount of time pulling together specs for various MiniGP / SuperMoto bikes (i.e., smaller motorcycles). I think seeing the numbers compared to other options out there really helps put these tiny, small, and small-ish bikes into better context. I’ve grouped them into size classes by length and then sorted them by weight. If you know of any of the missing specs, pass them on and I will update this list.

Yesterday, I received my Voigtlander 15mm (e mount) lens. This with my recently added Sony 55mm should finally complete my lens kit for the foreseeable future. To celebrate I created a lens focal length comparison of all my lenses in my admittedly unexciting backyard. Note that this on a full frame camera (a7ii), but the relative differences would be same for a crop sensor camera. The results and full list of lenses are below:

My Lenses
The Cannon 50mm will be sold now that I have the Sony 55mm, but I was curious just how much that 5mm changed the field of view. I’ll likely sell the Cannon 20mm too as I haven’t been very impressed with it and adding Voigtlander 15mm removes its one advantage of being my widest lens. The Minolta 135mm is also potentially on the chopping block as noticeably inferior to the Minolta 100mm.
I rarely use longer lenses and already owned the Sony zoom from my NEX days, so the easy hack of removing the rear baffle to get better sensor coverage worked well for me. Due to vignetting from this hack I basically consider this a 210mm prime for the few times I need more reach. One day I may pick up the Sony 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 to replace this if I start needing longer lens more often.
It’s amazing how far we’ve come in the speed of our computing. While the number of instructions a CPU can process in a second isn’t a perfect benchmark, as it doesn’t account for the efficiency of the instructions, it will do for our simple comparison. To put the difference the years have made into perspective: 1 second of processing by Intel’s (2011) i7 3960X would have taken the best 1985 personal computer over 4 hours 29 minutes!
Year | Chip | Millions of Instructions per Second |
1985 | Intel 386DX | 11 MIPS at 33 MHz |
1992 | Intel 486DX | 54 MIPS at 66 MHz |
1996 | Intel Pentium Pro | 541 MIPS at 200 MHz |
1999 | Intel Pentium III | 2,054 MIPS at 600 MHz |
iPhone 4S | ~5,000 MIPS | |
2003 | Intel Pentium 4 | 9,726 MIPS at 3.2 GHz |
iPhone 5S | ~20,500 MIPS | |
iPhone 6 | ~25,000 MIPS | |
2006 | Intel Core 2 X6800 (2 core) | 27,079 MIPS at 2.93 GHz |
2006 | Intel Core 2 QX6700 (4 core) | 49,161 MIPS at 2.66 GHz |
2008 | Intel Core i7 920 (4 core) | 82,300 MIPS at 2.66 GHz |
2011 | Intel Core i7 3960X (6 core) | 177,730 MIPS at 3.33 GHz |
2013 | Intel Core i7 4770K (4 core) | 133,740 MIPS at 3.9 GHz |
2014 | Intel Core i7 5960X (8 core) | 238,310 MIPS at 3.0 GHz |
2015 | Intel Core i7 6700K (4 core) | ~161,173 MIPS at 4.0 GHz |
Note: Due to Apple’s obsession with secrecy the iPhone numbers are approximations based on custom utilities and not official. The i7 6700K was just announced last week so benchmarks aren’t available yet, but Intel claims it is 20% faster than the i7 4770K.
PSA: The Geo’s Mart (thegeomart.com) has tempting prices, but is a scam website. Geo mart is currently advertising on eBay with better looking and better priced items similar to your searches. But there will be problems with your order and then with their credit card processing. The fix is of course to wire them money. Ha! Right. Is there a prince I can help too?
For those unaware a credit card is a barrier of protection in case of say: the product you purchased online never arriving. Simply dispute the charges to keep your money out of the scammer’s pocket. A wire transfer is has no such protection – so save it for your next house closing.
I post this since there doesn’t seem to be anything online warning potential customers of this scam yet. Save yourself the wasted time and avoid the Geo Mart.
