Well, links to photo galleries anyway.
The idea here is to be able to compare Sinaiticus with other manuscripts also considered ancient.
Some have to be checked, as transcriptions or black and white can make it into some lists:
Seven Important New Testament Uncial Codex Manuscripts

Major Early Uncials of the Gospels: Online Access
http://www.thetextofthegospels.com/2015/02/major-early-uncials-of-gospels-online.html
Most of this is medieval, 9th century and on, and thus only marginally a comparison piece. It is not so much that there is much of a different in the aging of 1000 years and 1500 years, it is more a difficulty of the viewer, and some differences in techniques. We might want to include two or three from this later period.

(And some special pictures are in articles, too, like the ink flaked white, or close-up of the Greek of quire numbers.)
=========================================
Codex Vaticanus
This ms. has almost fully overrwriting, or retracing.
Also: Vaticanus cuts off mid-Hebrews and lacks Revelation, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon.

The monastery of St. Catherine, Mount Sinai (founded by the emperor Justinian I between 527 and 565), where the section of the codex containing Romans 11:6 to Hebrews remains as MS Sinai Syr.3. ... The leaves here were presumably lost from the monastery in the nineteenth century, and may have entered the antiquity markets in Cairo.
(This would have likely been a theft by one of the manuscript hunters in the 1800s known for such heists, Tischendorf was the most active with Catherines, Uspensky is a possibility.)
