After the announcement of the new Nikon D3100 and 4 new lenses, the internet has been full of comments, as well as complaints, and sample images taken with the new lenses/camera.
Check out Bob Krist’s samples on his blog taken with the AFS 28-300 f/3.5-5.6 where he had a prototype to test in February. He mentions that it’s “sharp all the way out to 300mm” despite it being a superzoom, unlike the 18-200 for DX where quite a number of users …

On the other hand, the higher the value, the larger your Depth of Field will become and …
