Forgot to mention, that if you go wild looking at magnified pixels in the above Tokina 70-210 tripod sample photo, you will see single-pixel-wide features above the eyebrows. And ISO 800 noise in the image that has little to do with the lens. Even at ISO 800 the photo had to be taken, without flash, on a semi-cloudy day, late on a winter day in North America, in open shade, with none too much light, at a 30th of a second.
