Samples from today's shoot with the FA 80-320

[Paul Stenquist]

Here's a more telling example of the FA 80-320. No, it's not a superior 
lens. But I think it's a very good lens for the money. The first shot 
is at f6,7, 120mm, handheld at 1/90. However, I think it's fairly 
steady. (Remember, this is the field of view of a 180mm lens.) The 
second is a 100% detail from the hi-res version of that  shot. If I 
have time, I'll do some tests off a tripod. But I'm convinced that this 
lens is no bow-wow.
