I'm as happy as the next person to be sceptical of manufacturers' claims, but the coating does seem to be more than moonshine! Mind you, whether to the individual photographer it's worth the hefty premium is another matter.
Obviously prices fluctuate but, when new items first appear, it usually seems to be that they have a high price which then comes down over time. That makes me wonder - if the original DA Ltds were still available alongside their HD equivalents, would there be much of a price difference now? The only one still available at SRS is the silver SMC 40mm - the silver HD 40mm is £20 cheaper.johnha wrote:
The 'HD' thing really annoys me. It has come from the video world where it means 1920x1080 at best (or just over 2MP) and doesn't to me, make it sound like a particularly impressive lens/coating/filter etc.

Good images of one of my favorite National Trust places, not too far from home. I like the angles and viewpoints of the buildings that you have chosen in these shots.
Cheers.

Very nice photos, Nigel. I really like #5, and I would like #3 without the top OOF flower, and #4 if you had been able to include all the RH flower.
Cheers.

To add to all the well-deserved positives about the MX-1 - the tilting screen is so useful and I hope they include a similar one on the next DSLR.

Thank you, Jeff - I like to see brick patterns too, and I hadn't noticed the slight tilt of this image.

Thank you, Nigel - I do have Elements as well and, although I usually use PSP, I will look into it for save for web.
