The DA18-55 never interested me as I didn't like its rendering qualities very much and felt it was usually just a bit too slow for my desires. I had the 16-45 for a bit ... it's a fine performer, the weight and balance are a bit funky, as is the zoom operation.
The zoom in this range that I really love is the FA20-35/4 AL. It's sharpness, contrast and rendering are nearly prime-quality, it isn't oversize, it's very light, and just does the trick beautifully. It certainly doesn't have the feel or finish quality of a Limited prime, but for a zoom the performance is right up there to deserve the title.
