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

Looking at the itty bitty original :-), I would think your slice is 
perhaps twice the size of mine in proportion to the source. However, it 
is remarkably sharp. At least as sharp as an MF slice from a drum scan. 
Are you going to reveal the source. ( I can state conclusively that it 
was not shot with the 80-320 <g>. However, I still think this lens is a 
useful tool.)

The detail is just a straigh (unresized) cut from the original frame.

OK, my question is:

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.
