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

I can't guess. But cab we see the full image? A 100% detail is 
meaningless unless we know how large the original image was. (At least 
I think it is :-). However, I have to say that i've never seen a 100% 
detail anywhere near that sharp from any of my 72 meg *ist D files. Nor 
have I seen a 100% detail that sharp from a drum-scanned 6z7 image.

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.
