I can fish out a DS RAW file this evening ...
I compared the 16-45 and 20-35 at 20, 24, 28 and 35mm focal length
settings. They are very very close on sharpness, in my opinion, but
the 20-35 has less rectilinear distortion and nicer out-of-focus
rendering quality. The 16-45 seems to go a little smeary on corners
and edges when wide open where the 20-35 defocuses nicely.
Two 20-35 photos:

I have a lot more yet to process and present with this lens, but I've
been concentrating on the work from my UK trip which was before I
owned the 20-35 lens.
