Originally posted by pcarfan I was wondering whether the IQ of the 18-135 WR could be better than the 18-250?, as that lens is really great below 150mm and is quite decent even higher....I wish someone would compare the two lenses (may be the pending photzone test will shed some light on it).
add the 18-55 and 50-200 into the mix. a side to side comparison would be nice to check for distortion and MTF.
anyway, I somehow see the new lens seems to have a slightly better distortion control at the wide end. it seems to have better colors, contrast and sharpness as well compared to the 18-55.
