These also can be compressed which changes file size.
When you resized to print did you resample the file which makes a new

The 12-24 won't be that expensive to match, the Pentax 12-24 is
significantly cheaper than the Nikon but performs just as well (The
extra cost in the Nikon is in heavier build and the AF-S motor).
