Boris: I don't mean to nit-pick here, and maybe I'm just reading your

wrong, but you seem to assess "any" drawback as a "serious" drawback.
You'd
agree, wouldn't you, that some drawbacks are more serious than others?
If
so, it seems to me the DA 16-45 would fair fairly well in lens
assessment.
Maybe I'm reading your post wrong. If so, just ignore. :-) Cheers,

I'd have to agree. I've owned the 16-45 when I had my K100D and found
it to be excellent overall. The only reasons I didn't buy another one
when I bought back into Pentax in 2007 was the fact the Sigma 17-70
was a full stop faster at the wide end and significantly (about 20%)
cheaper at the time.
I agree with you too, Adam. :-) Yes, 2.8 would be great, but now that I have
a K20D with the really good high ISO, I feel more confident shooting indoors
with this lens.
