Asked myself the same question to be prepared for when I have money to burn and the DA* 11-16 is still not there... Result I found in reviews and forum discussions (Caveat: this is hands off information): 1. Best build, sharpest, most neutral color rendition, however pricey as hell 2. Worst haptics, bit darker than 3. but better corner sharpness and better wide open 3. Better haptics then 2., stpo down recommended to at least 5.6 for sharpness, longest warranty (5 yrs over here) Over here you can buy two to three shmegma or spamron lenses for one paytax so I could buy 2. AND 3. and still have money left for other stuff... =( HTH Ecke
