That's interesting.  If you happen to take pictures sooner than Henry
does, I'd be interested in the same test from your camera.  The older
zoom designs had a problem with distortion and I am trying to find 
out if this is an older design or if it's one of the latest where
distortion stays down around 1% over the whole range of focal lengths.

Thanks,
