Already have one of these but can confirm it's a top quality lens.

Colours the same with contrast varying. No1 fine if showing a brighter summer scene. V3 has greater contrast-fine. V2 has too much contrast/black. This is as seen on my laptop. cheers

I have the non OS version (APO DG EX Macro HSM II). It's superb and I think one of the best buys available . In Perth it costs AUD 700-. It's a favourite with me. Very fast focus lock. I do use it with 1.7 AFTC sometimes. Gives garbage readout for exposure but correctly exposes anyway!I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lens.

Ditto to mera. I use Lightroom and this question does not arise. Best to be brutal and delete non-keepers asap.

I would just like to thank Dr O for making my wallet a bit lighter

First impression is it's a great little package, and there is reasonable control over depth of field (as Dr O demonstrates) - After I hit the "Buy" button yesterday I was begining to regret such an impulsive purchase - but after photgraphing every inanimate object in the house (it's too wet to venture out) I think I'm going to enjoy it very much.

The prices do seem to be going back up again, so if you're dithering - stop and buy one!
Ditto from me about my wallet!
Retail price in Perth Australia just dropped to $499 and could not resist.Very impressive little camera.

Very impressive DrO. Thanks for showing. I have been looking for an excuse to buy one, and you may have supplied such! cheers

I have a Vivitar (Tokina) equivalent of this lens with TX-PK or T4-m42 mount. Its's quite sharp when you stop it down to about F11 (approx).

I have this lens. It's excellent for all sorts of use. Works well with TC 1.7X also. Never once used a hood with this lens. A hood is not required due to the recessed main lens. cheers

Nice sharp photos John, but your zoom lens photos also look sharp.
