I've spent a little time with VF-1S max and absolutely love it. On a downside I was comparing the shoulders with my VF-1J and I couldn't tell any difference. Doesn't mean it isn't fixed but with the naked eye they look the same. I'll probably take some picks soon but they aren't going to look very good compared to some of these other shots you've already seen. (Hence I don't have very good photo skills)
