Hi!
Dave, I agree. I generally look for sample photos, say on PBase or on
Pixel-Peeper. I have to read the reviews in order to have at least
minimal idea of ergonomics and other basic things. It won't hurt to look
at the thing before you buy it.
The thought of my intent to buy yet another 3rd party lens occurred to
me too. So far I haven't come up with any answer here. Ideally of course
I should prefer DA* 16-50, but I am not in position to start cherry
picking one locally. For certain reasons if I don't hit it from the
first shot, I am basically screwed.

I see no point in using Pentax bodies if you are just going to buy 3rd

I have both the DA 16-45mm & the DA* 16-50mm. I was never a big fan of
the 16-45 & when the 16-50 became available I got one. I've never
regretted the decision.
My other advice is quit reading lens review sites. They fuck with your
head & find faults that 99% of the time you will never notice.
Cheers,
Dave
