All,
For what it's worth, it looks to me like the problem is more than just one
Norwegian user and a bunch of me too's. For example, here's a thread
over
at pentaxforums.com that highlights

problem because I haven't gone looking for it. Best can easily
become an enemy of the good enough.

the ability to instantly magnify images to 100% on the screen and
beyond may be part of the problem.

These kind of reports surface with the release of every lens. I
suspect that it's usually a matter of bum photographers purchasing them.
400% screen magnifications will find a wealth of flaws
Determining and accepting quality issues is the problem. Negative
perceptions of image issues are often difficult to convey to others.
Especially those who are in a prove it position.
Blatant image or operational issues are a different matter.

somewhere other than where they think it is before
blaming it on some QC issue. It might be the camera or the operator.

All,
For what it's
A Norwegian guy reported to DPreview about uneven sharpness across the
frame. Sounded like some sort of collimation/calibration issue to me.
As you can expect from that lot, there were immediately others crying
that they too had the same issue.
Pentax Norway has treated him seriously. I would
All,
So it's been widely reported that there have been some quality issues with
DA* 16-50 F2.8 lenses. Can anyone on the list report how well (or not)
Pentax USA has been dealing with the issue? If you get a bum copy, does
Pentax USA fix it under warranty? Or is buying one a roll of the dice?
Hello Mark,
I got the first one on the list, I believe, from my local dealer. It
has been just fine so can't comment on quality issues or Pentax
response. It is a great lens.
