Olpf rawlite filters tests

Hi,

I read a lot on this site, but I never participate. I created an account because I'm stuck.

Are there any tests out there on Rawlite OLPF filters regarding moiré and aliasing?

There are a few tests, but they’re not really great and often about the Ircut.

A lot of people say rawlite olpf fiters are good for moire (but they only say "trust me"), but I can’t find any serious tests.

I’m talking about tests using test charts or clothes—comparing with and without the Rawlite filter. Not just a shirt or a chair for 2 secondes. Often, they're also too far from the target.
A simple close-up test showing the moiré pattern and the same shot taken with a Rawlite filter.... It's surprisingly hard to find.

I’m looking for a test that includes targets at different distances too, to confirm that the moiré pattern has indeed disappeared... With different kind of patterns too. 

I know it doesn't completely remove the moiré pattern, but I'd like to know what percentage of it it removes (5%–10%–90% ???)

I have no direct experience with the rawlite filters, but people seem to like them.  You might want to specify the camera since there may be variance in the quality/utility of the filter.

As a cheaper option, have you considered using a pro mist/glimmer glass/etc filter?  I think those can help with moire too.

Unfortunately, a filter in front of the lens doesn't work. I think pro mist or soft focus filters doesn't affect the same frequencies.

The only thing that works seems to be an OLPF, good debayering or bigger resolution. I had the impression that Rawlite reduced false color issues but not the banding.

€450 is a bit expensive just to slightly reduce the problem.
I’ve never seen any serious before-and-after tests.
