I have really enjoyed my FA 20-35/4 AL. I use it more than my DA16-45 which I am still uncomfortable because of occasional overexposure issues. The 20-35 I've had no problems. I mount it and go. If I need wider angle I use the DA 16-45 but I would just like to have a 16mm or 14mm prime. I'm just reluctant to buy the DA14 now till I see if new DA lens have any issues. All of my lens except the DA16-45 I use on a PZ1p also.
