Got my first decent da lens today

Well thanks to the excellent service of SRS Microsystems I recieved 2 decent lenses today at what I thought was a bargain price

1 s/h 16-45 with box caps and hood for £175 and a brand new 18-55 mk 11 for £39. I know they are similar in focal lenghts but at £39 for a brand new 18-55 mk2 lens I thought that was a bargain total £214 odd plus postage for the two .

I thought i might do some basic side by side tests on the 18-55 mk one the 18-55 mk11 and the 16-45. My initial thoughts on the 16-45 with a few indoor snaps is that its a lot sharper than my original 18-55 lens - its focusing is smoother and its an all round uber nice lens i have not tried the 18-55 mk2 lens yet.

Will - have a look here. HardGravity posted this thread some time ago, and it will give you some idea of the capability of the 18-55.
