Indeed - Tamron and Sigma were better wide open in term of sharpness
than Pentax. But from about f5.6 Pentax was equal + it had better
contrast. That's what I remeber from Color Foto test. I'd add to this
very good Pentax build quality (lots of metal) and nice limiter switch
with MF position. As soon as you switch it to MF, you can do manual
focussing without need of doing the same on body, just like in FA*
lenses.
