Mike, Isn't this similar to the one you posted about sometime ago being designe and built by someone on Talk Photography. Seems they are about to release a portable version very shortly.

But you accepting cheques and by doing so obtaining
off the buyer all the bank information that you don't
want to give the buyer about your own account?
Why should a buyer trust you when you won't trust
them Anyway it's your decision... just curious
I was initially interested in one of the lenses.

What's the reason for not taking Bank Transfers?

Why would it only work on film when it's designed for m43 / E mount? I know there's this theory that ultra wide apertures don't have quite the same benefit on digital, but the results from a 1.2 lens versus a 1.8 speak for themselves, so...
I was partly (because of the price) confusing it with the Leica one

I'm not sure about M43 cameras, but most cameras only see a maximim aperture of about f/1.8 from an exposure point of view (already covered on here). The image is different, because the camera can't convert a shot at f/1.2 to look like a shot at f/1.8 so it remains softer.

I notice no Canon or Nikon mounts are planned.

Hi, did a bit of research to refresh my knowledge about the matter....

And here is the key points about warranty in EU:

- legal warranty about conformity of the product is provided by the seller, not the manufacturer, and it is 24 months for new products, 12 months for used products.
- manufacturers' warranty is on top of the legal warranty.

On the web you can also find the standard repair/replacement request based on EU regulations.
I wasn't aware of the 12 months warranty on secondhand goods..... presumably that would also apply to ebay traders

How many of you folks using RAW still use RGB for the palette?
You got me confuse i believe you mean sRGB here or not and if so RAW doesn't know sRGB or aRGB it's not confined to a profile.
No I mean the palette of colours i.e. if you use the 'color picker' and put it on any color on the screen image does it show up as xxxR xxxG xxxB, example 126R 34G 178B etc.

It shouldn't be stiff at any particular point, but most of these big zooms zoom better held vertically facing either upwards or downwards. I always point mine downwards and then extend it to 400mm (talking about my lens stupid! )

Great little lens and better without a tripod foot IMHO

Keep it to f/8 or above for really sharp shots. I always use mine at 400mm, but it is really sharp at the other end as well.
