Actually it would be nice if Klaus just ran through the distances and testing procedures. (please!)
Some say fifty times the focal length; .6mts X 50 = 30mts .... seems quite a lot although it's a real world ideal distance, one would need a large testing lab.
Overall an ideal shooting distance for small birds is around 2.2- 12mts and 20-40mts for large ones, what is nice with the G2 is it's MFD is 2.2 mts, close enough to catch all but the smallest critters.
I've not worked out how the focus breathing (being IF) is, but testing at close distances would maybe influence resolution figures, it's really sharp close up.
I'm sure Marcus will be be "very interested" at any tips that may come his ways about testing tele-zooms especially relating to the F mount:
Err, Marcus where are you?? Ah yes I see you.......trembling under the table!... :o
