You've told me this before, however I would much rather have an all metal one with lens lock screw built in with enough treading to ensure keeping it tight. The problem with plastic is it is relatively to thin to drill and tap a hole in it that has any holding reliability whatsoever. There are ways to do it, like permanently gluing a thicker piece of plastic (whatever) to the barrel without any chance of it interfering with the female section of the mount and drilling/tapping a whole through both, but that is a PITA when it has to be done.
The simplest thing would be for Mobius executives to list the metal lens mount (alone) for sale, so those that wish to do it could, without going to a lot of trouble. Perhaps Tony could relay this message to those executives, they would have everything to gain and nothing to loose.

Sorry but I have to disagree, lens B is better in all instances, the only really bad thing I see is in Driving 1 something seemed to go wrong in both A& B with B still being better then A. The girl standing on the left was very dark and grainy in A, In B she was somewhat lighter color in her jeans but it was not as grainy but the frame still seemed out of place overall, almost like the cameras/something moved.
All in all though, the B lens is putting the Alens to shame as it should with it being f1.5. I hate to say it but I don't think either lens is that good really, shooting at night I expected to see a larger difference with the B lens because of it's f value. I think it will really get interesting when one of the varifocal lenses or the 4mm star burst lens that everyone seemed to like is put on the Maxi, that will put some arguments to rest I think!
However currently TonyM has the job of reviewing the Maxi as people will purchase it and he is really doing a great job of it. Just my opinions.
