It just shows that camera reviewers often throw in statements like this
just to fill up space and get the required number of words for their
articles.
The Australian magazine "Camera" has reviewed both the K20D and K200D in
its current issue. The kit lens comes in for special praise!
Quote: "...its optical performance is definitely above average,
particularly in terms of the correction for both distortion and
chromatic aberrations."
I'm sure neither of the reviewers actually did any tests to confirm
their comments.
Cheers
