The wide angle end is equivalent to 27.5mm, useful for general snapshots and landscapes. that black blob is a bird.

----



The telephoto end of the zoom is equivalent to 110mm, not much more than a typical 3x zoom.

Colour reproduction is excellent.

----



Dynamic range is a bit limited though, with very murky shadows.

The superb band Melosa at Exeter Phoenix centre, at 6400 ISO. The shot is grainy, but the colours are bright.

The equally excellent {linkout:http://www.myspace.com/thehaggishorns Haggis Horns, also at 6400 ISO, but shot vertically using the OK button as a secondary shutter release.
