First test I've seen of the new Minolta 18-70/3.5-5.6 kit zoom: http://www.photohobby.net/webboard [...] ta&No=5659 Looks relatively poor wide open at the extremes, if you can even call f/5.6 wide open. Lots of barrel distortion at 18mm. (I'd post to rec.photo.digital.slr-systems but still don't have it.)
