I do like it, and now my brother-in-law and his wife have also bought one. Microglobe must be doing very well with this lens.

Here's some shots from my latest blog:

I've removed your mobile number Garry - a bit unwise to put it on a forum for everyone to see.

Anyone interested can say so here and then send you a PM to arrange details and exchange of numbers. Once you have a PM you will be able to reply to it, even though you can't initiate sending one yet.

I was just thinking that if you were close enough we could meet up and compare MX-1 screens, just in case something is amiss.

We do go to Dunham Massey quite often if that's a possibility.

I don't have any problems with the screen in daylight, so it's puzzling. What part of Manchester are you in?

Excellent. We've not been to Washington WWT yet, but it's on the To Do list. You've encouraged me to move it up the list!

My 06 arrived today, per return via Special delivery. For around £150 that was too good to miss!

Correct Alan, this is the previous version.

It's often down to interpretation of results and the way measurements relate to actual image quality and characteristics. "Sharpness" doesn't exist as a measurement, but resolution and contrast do.

A low resolution, contrasty image will look sharper to our eyes than a high resolution low contrast one. Then there are considerations of gradation, smoothness of what is these days called bokeh and of course it's all in relation to which camera bodies lenses are used on.

I've done some lens measurements and the 31mm and 77mm measure higher figures than the 43mm, but of the three it was the 43mm I kept. It has the best overall look and feel to the images, for me at least. Likewise, the 70mm Limited measures lower than the 77mm, but I prefer the 70mm.

Why not order one and take a chance? Everybody seems to like it, so the risk is pretty low!

Not so far David, but I'm not in a hurry. Let's give PU a fair chance first before we go to alternative routes. It's also on offer to ADAPS members, but there will be nobody else in the running for a while yet.
