Crumbs, I was assuming you were a newbie on usenet. Any chance you could
stop acting like one, and trim the posts you're replying to a bit
(especially if they're your own!)? Ta.

It wasn't bad, but I was very surprised when I tested one against a
cheaper and very plasticky looking Vivitar back in the eighties. The
Vivitar was marginally sharper right across the frame on all my test
shots. Both produced stunning 12x16" prints, but the Trip was definitely
the loser.

I don't really see how the design of a fixed 38mm (or whatever) lens on
little compact camera could have much in common with the Series 1 zoom,
but what do I know?

You've gone and made me check mine now.
70-210 f3.5 Serial No: 22629078 "Lens made in Japan". Different animal
altogether then, I guess.
