Patrick, I have the 16-45 and it works well on film cameras down to 20mm before it vignettes. So if you are happy with 20 on the Pentax compared to 17 on the Tamron go for the Pentax. Or if you are interested in a second hand FA20-35 f4 let me know, it hasn't been used on film or digital since I got the 16-45. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
