"I waited a long time before buying this lens -- took a lot of photos with the kit lens that left me wanting... Don't make the mistake of waiting as this lens does a much better job. I jumped when I saw a couple of posts on the Pentax Forum that hinted that this lens might be discontinued.This lens makes my K20D images even more impressive. I particularly like the F4 across the entire zoom range. Lens lives on ..." Read Full Review »

"If you're looking for a professional quality lens, this is not it-spring for the 16-50mm f2.8 ED AL (IF) instead- the difference is night and day. For one this lens is not sharp, secondly it is very slow and very loud. You're wasting a really good sensor on your camera by using a sub-standard lens. For the price, it's a good enough lens, but don't think that it's as sharp as their more expensive lenses...." Read Full Review »

Pros

"This lens has a few issues (compromises, actually), but this lens is the very reason I, after a long (2 years!) search, chose the Pentax system (I own a K200D). It was a rational choice for me, not a passionate one. I chose the system based on lens choice. This is not only a lens review, is a statem …" Read Full Review »

Pros
Cons
Best Uses
"Great lens with a moderately large F4.0 aperture throughout its full zoom range. Optically very sharp for a zoom lens. I would be a little happier if it had a little longer focal length on the long side,such as 60 or 70MM, but the Pentax 50-200mm zoom takes care of that. The very wide end of 16mm i …" Read Full Review »

Pros
Cons
Best Uses
"I purchased this lens some time ago, along with the *st D. It's shown to have very little distortion for a zoom, and the AF is actually fast and useful for an AF lens.
The feature I like best is the ability to "fine tune" the focus after AF without having to switch to MF. It's fast and accurate

Pros
Cons
Best Uses
"I sold all of my Nikon gear (D200, some pretty good lenses) and switched to Pentax. The 16-45mm hooked to a K20D makes a phenominal combination for landscape photography. Sharpness, good color and low noise are the result, along with more sales. I can't be negative about Nikon - it's very nice eq …" Read Full Review »
