My DA*55 has arrived at home after an 11-day journey (and wait) half across the world.

The next 8 hours will be painfully slow, as I'm still at work.

I got it now. I have the same experience. I have to dial +10 to hit the focus.

My first impression once AF is ok: This is *almost* too sharp, (it's funny). The FA31 is sharp. But this one is SHARP!

I'll test it later with Kx. >> Tested it with Kx. Focus is out of whack. I didn't bother adjusting the Kx focus. My initial take is, for convenience, buyer should have microadjustments in their menu if they're considering the lens

May I know where you ordered your lens? I am a from the Philippines too. Thanks!

I ordered the DA*55 from B&H. I regularly order from either Adorama or B&H.
