This is the 18-55

The above URL from the last post was the 18-70.

The newer more conservative 18-55 has half the elements and weight and bulk
than the 18-70 which I had but left on a shelf in Brooklyn.
The 18-70 too a lot of correcting at 18 in Photoshop it bowed out I forgot
what they call it. Barn dooring.
But the more conservative and cheaper 18-55 only needs 1 percent if that.
