The latest M2 Encore is just coming out of head to head tests with the Letus Ultimate and outperforms it in light transmission by a wide margin. it also has 25 new features and enhancements including a collimating lens mount (Chris: If you are still having issues drop us a line. It sounds like you have a bad unit if the collimation doesn't stick). Essentially everytihng people wanted improved in the M2 has been addressed, and it is state of the art for light loss, sharpness, and performance. Thanks Brian

Andrew - Coming back from the thread you just opened at Redrock, another poster's experience is that the pink to grey color shifting is due to the JVC's fujinon lens, so please check out his post there too Thanks Brian

Andrew We just returned from Cinegear today to find these posts and the others you left today, so forgive us the few hours to respond. The top-to-bottom hue 'gradient' looks more like interference. If you rotate the achromat (which I know is a bit tricky if it's completely setup, but just turn it a little bit) does the color banding move as though it's part of the achromat? If that doesn't change it, try moving things away from the camera (monitor, magnets, anything electro-magnet, etc.) and see if that helps. Perhaps move it into another room? Cheers Brian
