Even allowing for the Bruce Hyperbole Factor, this is an astonishing piece of glass... I'm blown away.

Here are some shots from Asha's school fair, reduced to 1280px wide with a tad of sharpening, along with a 100% crop of a part of each, which are with NO sharpening, NO filters, NO processing of any kind, and this is HAND-HELD remember, MINIMUM zoom 70mm... and some of them at 1/2000 of a second.

[Update... I've moved them on request, if you want to see them drop me a mail :-]
