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.
