Yes. (Though there may be lens optical quality differences, just as
with two different single focal length lenses [or zooms] shot together,
and the shooting technique of each shooter could produce somewhat different results, as could film differences, etc. - and the zoom's
marked focal lengths may not be correct, etc.......)
Hope This Helps
