LOL ... Nothing "touchy" about my response, Darren. Understanding is everything to me. I spent almost a year researching the M9 before plunking down 6+ big ones for it, so I knew what to expect. Which doesn't really prepare you for the reality of actually using your lenses on it anyway, but it's as good as you can get without having one in your hands. When you spend $80,000 and buy a medium format digital camera system, don't be surprised at how difficult it is to use and obtain top notch results with ... !! But then, once you learn it, the results will simply make your head spin and pix from everything else look like a camera phone took them. Charles :: if you have trouble getting to the site, I can easily post you a couple of calibration tests from the Skopar lenses this evening. They're not quite as extreme as the Heliar 15 or 12 would be, but they show the same essence. I saw similar issues with the 21 on Paul D's Sony NEX 5 last year when we tested it ... nothing unusual when using lens designs out of scope of the sensor design. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
