This is the 46mm filter thread version with stepless aperture.This is the short version. I'd like to have the long version also, but only at the right price.
I will post test pics from my Panny G1 as soon as I get the lens.

I have the later version, it's a good lens, not great but does the job, decent sharpness and contrast, colours are quite nice.
Might be a different maker to this one so probably not much use to compare. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Ian, I'm not sure what to expect with this lens. Performance seems to vary quite a bit with the different Miranda lenses, even different variations of the same lens. _________________

I agree Walter, the ones I have are all over the place, the 1.4/50 I have is superb but the 2.8/105 is mediocre and the 200mm is crap.
Look forward to your samples. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I hope it's as good as the 1.4/50, but we will see. _________________

I got it today, but I didn't have any spare time. One quick snap is about all I had time for. Contrast boost, resized and sharpened.

So I only have one test shot from today, and it's boring.
Auto Miranda 28mm f2.8 at f2.8. Shot on Panasonic G5, and I used the correct Miranda hood.

Nothing wrong with that Walter.
Wide open sharpness is excellent.
A good lens I think

I seem to have the opposite problem.
My home-made adapter appears to focus beyond infinity - weirdly.
Anyway the 2.8/28 is proving to be a troublesome child and it is not making me comfortable in using it yet.
I am still learning its quirks so it might be some time before I produce worthy images from it.
In the meantime here are a couple that tested me a bit.
Cheers

here are a couple of shots from today, but my hit rate isn't high at present.

Looks good Tom. One quirk I've noticed with mine is sense it has clickless aperture, if I'm not careful it's easy to slightly change the aperture when I adjust focus. _________________
