I love the DA 16-45. I shot some car interiors yesterday for a magazine assignment with this lens at 16mm and f8. They're very sharp and nicely detailed. I am extremely pleased with both its build quality and the output. I previously owned the Sigma 17-35/2.8-4 EX DG. While a stop faster at the wide end, it was quite obviously not as sharp as the Pentax lens. Paul
