Hi, when comparing DA18-55 and FAJ 18-35, I would strongly suggest FAJ-lens. Last year I tested those "head-to-head" when I wrote *ist DS review - sorry, there's nothing too good in DA lens. More geometrical abberations, more chromatic problems etc. I will get DA 18-55 with forthcoming K10D ONLY if my Pentax-dealer gives it to me for free...
