The GL-1, at 20X, and the VX2000, at 12X - but I would
try adding a high-quality 1.5, 1.7, or 2X tele-converter
first... BTW, the zooms on these 10Xers reach almost 500mm
equivalent in 35mm-camera term, VERY long! Going longer
risks greater shake and atmospheric problems - why not
just move closer and get a higher-quality image...? ;-)
