Having same issues with my own camera if anyone knows how to fix the focus on my dropable underwater small thingymajig than I will happily take a font pic of my 229.
Will try to get something over the weekend.
Thanks for starting this thread as its something that I want to see about as well.
Mine is OK but nothing like that of a Rolex Sub, and that I think is the dilema, I'm not comparing apples with apples I actually feel that the hole Panerai cyclopes set up is doomed to fail regardless of date font. Isn't just the physics of light in the reverse fitted lens, always going to be fighting a loosing battle.
From a slanted angle my date font looks larger that if I look straight on.
Bring on the Pics
