The RJ bought a new camera thread

<hate> the 18-85 IS has the highest level of distortion of any lens ever tested by photozone</hate>

Yeah i've found 20 reviews that say 20 different things about every lens. I did quite a bit of research and I think its a solid lens for my purposes.

A better comparo - 50mm on top, 17-85 on bottom.

Shot from great falls the other day (kit lens)



After trying to take some pictures there I was ready to throw the kit lens in the river. It was just awful with the light and shadows in the park.
