This is either relative to the DA40 and/or you have a not-so-good copy. I see a noticeable difference in sharpness between 1.4 and 1.7, but even at 1.7 it's not soft. Color fringing isn't any worse than any other lens I've had the opportunity to try. -- Scott Loveless Cigarette-free since December 14th, 2008 http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
