-- on focus speed - how does it compare to focus speed of a 50 1.4? |

Re: Who has bought the 16-50 2.8 and what do you think?
The difference in focusing speed between the DA16-45 and DA*16-50 wide angle zoom is in my view not that significant. However focusing speed on the DA*50-135 telezoom is definitely fast. So I would conclude that SDM really shines on the tele end. Frankly I'm not too concerned with focus speed but on focus accuracy (i.e. no front or back focusing).

Re: Who has bought the 16-50 2.8 and what do you think?
well, I don't have a 16-45, a 17-70, or anything wider than a 50 1.4, other than the kit lens.
The kit lens is really quite slow, and quite unsharp, at 18/3.5. Hence i'm looking for a more travelly option. I do think that the pentax isn't priced as well as it could be - but perhaps it really is pretty expensive to manufacture. Aiee. decisions decisions. |

The pentax 16-45, sigma 17-70, 18-50 are all very decents. For travel i think you can consider the 17-70.

I hated the 16-50/2.8 when I saw the first samples... but I ended up with one nonetheless. I must admit after a while it does grow on you.
