I would suggest trying another web-browser on Windows Phone 8.1

e.g. Chrome, etc

(If the browser uses the "WebKit" core to handle HTML you will probably have a solution.)

I have had trouble calibrating some monitors with the supplied software with some devices.

The ArgyllCMS and dispcalGUI (both OpenSource) are excellent at allowing multi-monitor calibration.

Might be worth a shot

Mine was like that until I had it serviced
This shot, although at f/5.6, is demonstrative of the lens' capabilities.

The DA16-45 is an excellent all-rounder. Personally I don't the bokeh that much, but otherwise is a very good lens.

The DA*16-50 is a different beast altogether. It's substantially heavier, has a lovely bokeh, and a very nice rendering. It does suffer from quite a bit of purple fringing - it's never a problem when shooting RAW with LR as it can all be handled post-process. (A bit of a problem when shooting JPG).

I am torn between the DA*16-50 and the DA17-70. I found the extra 20mm was very useful indeed. The DA17-70, I think, had the edge on sharpness (at f/4 it really was close to the FA50/1.4!!), is not as heavy, and has excellent bokeh, sharpness and contrast. There is a tiny something special about the DA*'s rendering compared to the DA17-70 - but it's a close call. (My DA*16-50 benefitted from a service at JPS - came back much improved). It was also very convenient having the same filter size on the DA17-70 and DA*50-135

The DA*50-135 is really astonishingly good, and there isn't a direct match at the lower end. The DA*16-50 is weather sealed, but the barrel extends when zooming (I like the relative compactness of the DA*50-135). As mentioned, SDM failures are a common issue.

Money wise, it's a tricky one. DA16-45 go for around £150, DA17-70 for around £300, and DA*16-50 above £500. The improvements are not proportional to the extra spend, alas

For an all-rounder, or a take-one-lens-out, the DA17-70 is superb.

But then for my regular kit, I have the (also astonishing) DA12-24 as well

So many lovely lenses

I have a K10, boxed for sale

Just a couple of 1cm macro shots - both taken with a cheap 7-dayshop LED light rig.

Super creepy crawlies

Hardly ever use the K5iis at the moment...

Matt

SRS has it at £119 too

LOL! An anomaly then

Would love to know what I could do with a 645Z
Matt

That is something! Love that image with the slightly OOF lead in, almost symmetrical view, and delicious light.

Wow!
Matt

Yes, there are a few that blink faster than a preflash. Always good to do a couple of shots with B&G before - so they know how it feels to be photographed, and to find out if they blink quickly

But it depends on contrast too - fill in flash hasn't been a problem for me.

One event I did I had to use the Metz 50MZ5 for indoor shots, and switch to the AF540 for outdoor fill in. Probably could've done it with just the AF540 in "A" and "P-TTL/HS" modes though
