I have both. The 12-24 is of slightly better build quality, and the barrel extends only slightly at full wide and full long. I believe it's also slightly sharper than the 16-45 at the 16 through 24 range. At 12 it shows some minor barrel distortion, but it's quite good for this wide a lens. The bedroom and first construction site pic are at 12mm. I believe the second construction site pic was at around 15mm. The bedroom pic was perspective corrected in PhotoShop with "Edit/ Transform/Perspective." The BW coffee shop pic is at 24mm.
