Merci, Patrice.
It is curious that they managed to get results on the DA 16-45 so
different from everyone else's experience with that lens.

Sample variation. They just got a lousy sample.
You'd think companies would check out samples before sending them to
photo magazines, but typically they don't. I've gotten completely
nonfunctioning samples from some big name companies. When we used to
do lens tests we got some embarrassingly bad examples from some of
the top companies.
I'd suggest that this just shows poor quality control on that
particular lens.
