Howard I read those articles too and had the same thoughts. Sometimes I
wonder if we interpret these statements too literally. Would be fascinating
to know the full story.
More importantly it is an impressive example of the new zoom's performance.
You are a courageous husband though publishing Esther's photo enlargeable to
individual skin pore level! If you suffer husbandicide due to Esther looking
at this, can I have your cameras?
