I am sorry, John, I don't have now the eight or nine images I shot for the first time with my new D5100 and the 18-55mm. All were deleted as I am still learning. I was not satisfied with the sharpness and colour when I took both landscape and outdoor portrait (no flash.) Focusing by auto and manual(I am more comfortable with manual.) I viewed them on my monitor. It is not calibrated with any hardware, but usually gives good display. It is a ViewSonic LCD.
I wanted to shoot some more with the 18-55, but heavy rain has started here due to some depression. I will post after the sun decides to show through!
Thank you
