p.1 #1 · 18-70 sharp?


I've been wondering recently just how sharp the kit lens is. Johnny McFadden informed me that if it's not sharp it isn't the lens' fault. After looking at a few shots I got today I'm inclined to believe him. The more I use the kit lens - the more impressed I am with it.

Yes, I too find the 18-70 very sharp... an excellent lens all around, IMHO. Here's another shot to prove it.

Not sure if it's sharp or not. Need to see more samples of the cute chick.

It's a very good consumer lens but compare it to nearly any prime in Nikons lineup and you will see differences in contrast and sharpness.

Nice pic BTW!

No doubt about it. I got the fantastic plastic 50 1.8 and love it to death. But the 18-70 has been surprising me lately.

Nice shot Octavio!
