The most impressive images that I have seen as far as resolution is concerned are some of Lee Hermann's images where he has posted them in the LUG gallery in very large sizes. (You have to click on the large image icon at the top or bottom to get to the full size image.) The owl in the tree is one that I recall, as well as a couple of aerial shots from his Cub. To my mind, these show what an outstanding lens can produce.
