This 100-percent crop of the bird in the previous slide shows that despite the somewhat high-contrast scene, the D60 retained a decent amount of detail in the shadow areas of the image, while also illustrating the resolving power of this step-up lens (note that this, like some of the other images in this slideshow, was not shot with the 18-55mm kit lens). Depending on your monitor, you might not be able to see the same level of detail in this example as you could on a high-grade, properly calibrated monitor. Shot details: Nikon D60; ISO 100; 1/320 sec.; f/5.6; Nikkor AF-S 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 VR zoomed to 85mm (127mm equivalent in 35mm format)
