The 16-45 is supposed to be pretty good, but if you're looking for the
closest analog to the 20-40, I'd reccomend the FA 20-35mm at least
optically, and zoom range, build quality is very good for a mostly
plastic lens, and at this time it's not all that "sexy" when compared to
the DA Limited, so you can probably pick one up for a relatively low
price used. Oddly you might just be happy with the FAJ 18-35, it's build
is supposed to especially crappy, but optically it's supposed to be very
very good, and those seem to go for a song, an off key one at that.

Well, when isn’t cost a consideration? I’ll put it this way: I’d like to have a
20-40/2.8-4 limited but that’s beyond my means. A 16-45/4 is much more
affordable and I might go up to double KEH’s price for it if there was
something that might be better for me, e.g., something as wide as the 16-45 but
with a longer zoom range.
It seems that my photography requires either that or a telephoto and not much
in between. So I’m not especially interested in trying to accommodate all that
in one lens. I just want a good wide-angle zoom.
So, should it be the 16-45 or is there something else I should consider.
Thanks,
