I can't vouch for the technical measured quaility only my results, which I find to be better than satifactory in most cases. Even the 40/2.8 which was never Pentax's sharpest lens in the basket can produce very acceptable images. I have the E-mount CZ 24/1.8. I really need to go shooting with it more. The NEX-7 easily produces DSLR-quality images at a fraction of the size and weight of a DSLR. There's a new E-mount 16-50 pancake zoom Sony has just released. Anecdotal results are that it's decent.
