Did you use a tripod?

I did. I shouldn't have skipped also using my remote since the shot from the 60 came out blurry.

Hi io,

Thx. I guess I'm surprised by the difference between the 50mm of your zoom and the 60mm too. I wonder if the 50mm of the zoom is accurate or whether the 50/2 would show the same FOV.....? I've always thought that they'd be a bit closer.

Cheers, Rod

I wouldn't be surprised if the zoom doesn't really reach 50mm since advertised focal lengths are usually approximations. Still, I'm more than happy with its performance, especially for the $90 I paid for it. I have only briefly tested the 50 in a camera store but haven't done any comparisons.
