Believe it or not, it is, Dan. Of course, it could be that I was lucky to get the above average sample of 17-70 and sub-average 18-50, but this is what could happen to anyone, right?! After using Nikkor 18-70 for a few months I purchased 18-50 (third sample tested in a row) and replaced it now with 17-70. Now I'll settle with this one for a while now :)

Is the 17-70 really better than the 18-50? It looks it to me from these crops.
