Well, for me 'better' image quality would be a mix of more: sharpness, color rendition, contrast... and less: distortions, chromatic aberrations, flare, fringing...
It's said that a prime in general produces 'better' images than a zoom, and also in general, 2 short range zooms produce better results than a long range zoom. However, there are many exceptions to this 'rule' and maybe a good long range zoom can produce better results than 2 shorter 'kit' zooms. This was my question. >From this answer I understand that the most probable is that the results of >the 2 zooms are better in some aspects (resolution?) and worst or just >different in other (color rendition?).

Then specify for what use. For viewing screen-sized on a monitor or small print, probably no regarding resolution but there may be some aspect of the "look" of the output that you find to be "better" than the kit lenses. > > ----- Mensaje original ---- > De: Boris Liberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > Enviado: martes, 2 de octubre, 2007 11:20:46 > Asunto: Re: Press releases from today...
