That's funny, because their countrymen from pictchallenge rated DA 16-45/4 very high and said its performance is similar to hi-end Nikon DX 17-55/2,8 except for slightly higher CAs at wide end. Here is the test with comparison to FA 24-90, made using DXO analyzer so it should be quite neutral: http://www.pictchallenge-archives.net/BxuREV7.html and here are some fixed focal Pentax lenses tested the same way: http://www.pictchallenge-archives.net/BxuREV8.html
