A decent set of example shots, thanks for posting them. I opine from this evidence:

1) all three primes are better performers than all three zooms.
2) at some focal length/aperture combinations, the differences between the better zooms and the primes becomes small. 3) the tamron 28-75 and the pentax 20-35 are clearly better performers than the DA18-55. 4) the differences at equal focal lengths between the 28-75 and the 20-35 are pretty small, and which is better depends on specific focal length and aperture setting. 5) the 18-55 is not a bad performer; it just isn't quite as good as the others.

Just after purchasing DS - I decided to check it by running a small comparison between all the lenses that I currently have in my drawer :)

I know that especially wide lenses are usually worse on digital body, thank on film, but the results are pretty interesting.

Lenses compared:
- SMC-DA 18-55/3.5-5.6
- SMC-FA 20-35/4 AL
- SMC-FA 35/2 AL
- SMC-FA 50/1.4
- SMC-F 50/2.8 Macro
- Tamron SP XR Di 28-75/2.8
