Your monster lens must be quite fast, and comes up pretty crisp...I especially like the C130 photos you've put up.
Mind you, all these are great record shots - which Lambo would that be sticking out under the Corsair I wonder?

One of the reasons that I bought the camera (Panasonic FZ30) was the fact that the lens (Leica) got so many excellent reviews, and with the Leica name on it, should be good anyway. It is my second Panasonic, and it replaced a Canon D350 which produced inferior photos, even after buying more expensive lenses for it. The 420mm maximum on the Panasonic is great, and with image stabilisation, produces some great results. Good movies too from it. I am very happy with the Panasonic, often most shots just need cropping and little other correction, unlike the Canon shots. Fast start up times are good to grab unexpected shots, and as it has a manual zoom (which saves battery power and gives greater control), is great to operate. Of course, I would like an even bigger zoom, but that will come later!!!

Smooth landings.
