Someone doesn't want to prove me wrong, apparently...I may not believe in what I'm saying, but I'm still debating at least semi-seriously.
But seriously, I've seen plenty of zoom lenses, but have you seen a foggy day? Sattelite photographs would have to be taken from at least ten miles away (it'd be more than that, but we'll use it as a liberal estimate), through an extremely thick atmosphere, AND a lot of clouds, not to mention with only the sun used for lighting. I just don't see how it could be done.
