well, my new lens has just arrived.
its about damm time it did to.
wasnt here quick enough for indy though.
this lens would of been perfect for the viewing of those on balconies.
shame i didnt have it though.
just connected it to my camera, tested it and zoomed in to people crossing the street about 500-600m's from where i am and you can see their face, you can read the words perfectly on buses and cars, etc.
