Thanks for the comparison Fiso. The DA 18-55mm is light and has the wide 28mm I miss now on digital. Otherwise I see no use for it *for me*, I will use my old A/M/T primes and the A70-210mm 4.0 + Tamron 70-150mm 2.8 soft focus zoom with the K10D. Your test shows quite a drastic difference in quality even if comparing a zoom to a prime lens is not fair :-) As an idea, I could compare the DA 18-55mm lens to the A35-70mm or A28-135mm zoom? greetings Markus
