IS60ED vs MM3
I am in a quandary. I went to Arundel again today and compared the IS60ED WP with the MM3 50. The former had a fixed lens which the rep said gave a 20x magnification, while the latter had the top HDF zoom. So I was comparing apples with oranges.
I was, however, impressed by the extra brightness of the former which I attribute to the larger objective lens. It would have been unfair to have looked critically at other image quality characteristics.
If you have both at the same time, I would be interested in your comparative comments.
I hope the MM3 60 ED comes out soon!
I have the IS60ED WP with the HR zoom and will be changing it to the mm3 version.
