You're right it is just one web image. However you can usually see
lens defects in a single image. I'm talking about what appears to me
be softness, when used on 35mm film a medium that is /beyond/ /the/
/advertised/ /limits/ /o/f /the/ /lens./ The impression is the same one
I get from film shots taken with my copy of the FA 28-200 on film. A
lens I would have dumped if I hadn't tried it on digital. Like I said
it could simply be the subject matter or my eyes. If I look only at the
section of the image that would be covered by the APS-C sized sensor, it
looks just fine. I'm sure that someone will do some tests that will
prove that the DA* 60-250 is better on the APS-C sensor than the 28-200
could ever be, I would sure hope it is based on the price.+

bit of image degradation at the edges and corners. Not a lot different
than the FA 28-200mm. I don't think I'd want to use the DA* 60-250mm on
film, ( or a 24x36mm sensor if or when it becomes available on a K mount
body), if critically sharp imaging was required, (not that it would
actually be worthwhile on any of the Film cameras I still own)..
It's a single web image taken and processed under unkown circumstances. As an
evaluation tool (unless you are using it to evaluate how that image looks on
your monitor) it's about as much use as a fire extinguisher filled with petrol.

If I have time, I'll put it on the LX and shoot some test frames.
Might be interesting.
