and anyone else too!

So, you think your new Whizbang Gizmo body and Firecracker lens are sharp, hey? Follow this link. Click the Enlarge button below the small picture. Then zoom in to 100% and pan around. Be amazed. Take note of the age of the photograph.

Enjoy!

Cool I don't think so............. - 01-05-2009, 07:02 PM

Not in a zillion years. As I have said over and over, "sharp as a tack" has been around since forever.

Zeros and ones don't give you the whole picture.

Size does matter.

reminds me of the large print book of Kinsey locomotive prints I have. So sharp they'll cut you....

I cut myself looking at that photo! Too bad I'm addicted to instant gratification from digital though.
