Hi all,

I borrowed the HPX 171 ( PAL version ) from work to test my LEX with it. The LEX is the standard one without any acromat upgrades for the HVX or so... I used a Nikon 50mm 1.8 ( E series ), the cheaper ones sort of speak. No filters.

I can't remember the aperture settings, but on the Nikon is was pretty much all the way open.

My friend and I were inspired by The Wrestler as I hope you will recognize... :)

As a result, I am surprised how well the LEX performs even without an acromat update. Edge to edge sharpness is satisfying. I could have zoomed in a tad more, but it was a test anyway.

well, the actor is a fan of Mickey Rourke and works as a facility manager/ janitor in real life. so instead of The Wrestler.... this is: The Janitor. that's it :)
