I would take it that Jarek is saying "Looking at the pixels on-screen
at 1:1" when he says "inspecting photos at 100%".
An 11x15" image area (not the piece of paper you print it on, the
printed area) from a full frame DS image file represents about 200
ppi output density. That's certainly high enough density to make an
excellent quality print, although you might want to upsample by 2x
for a bit more cropping room. I made a run of 13x19 prints (11x17"
image area) as a test of the Epson R2400 that are worthy of hanging.

made were about 11x15 or so, which seems to be about 100% Unless I

generate prints of that size with the quality that I demand, a
lens, and,
in fact, digital, is of not much value to me. I've not yet made

still pretty poor. However, I'm soon going to have to take the
plunge.

Well, I think it can easily compete with 20-35/4,
nobody is inspecting photos at 100%. It is maybe
a bit worse than 20-35, but for sure not 4
times worse as the price is :)
5) the 18-55 is not a bad performer; it just isn't quite
as good as the others.
