Admittedly it was all in comparison but the level of detail at 100 percent
was to my eye rather intense and more than I expected. Those ducks and the
people are a good 300 meters from my window and 100 meters further on in the
picture (on the full size version) it's still that clear. Now as Doug
pointed out this appears as nothing relative to a Leica R Telyt 180 (or his
beloved 250) but for a small light* $45 lens it surprised me. And I wouldn't
have commented to the group about this relatively minor matter except that
there was a longish thread about this lens 4-6 weeks ago. That it's a Nikon
led me first to pray to the Dr. Ted-god for forgiveness in bringing it up at
all.
V

* weighs roughly what my Leica R Elmarit 35mm weighs.
