I'm sure the G2 wouldn't do well against the modern 500mm VRII Nikor or the latest Canon equivalent!
Anyway it's interesting to see the actual results from an expensive pro lens of the day vs a budget tele-zoom.
No matter how good the G2 it still can't quite cut it before F7.1 whereas the Nikor is sharp from F4 (if you don't mind using the clarity/contrast slider)
That 1 1/3 rd extra stops comes at a price though....... 2.2 kgs of more weight!
