Both the DA 16-45 and the DA 50-200 definitely have manual focus
override. All you have to do is turn the focus ring after the lens
autofocuses. BTW, both are very good lenses for the money.

I don't think any of the DA lenses that are shaft driven only have
focus override. I've tried on many occasions to do so, and it won't
move until you shift the camera body into manual, which retracts the
drive shaft.
The 17-70 seems to have focus over-ride, but if you move the collar
very far at all with the release button half way, the motor forces
the image back into focus, at least in center focus mode that I keep
mine K20 in for imaging dogs.

You haven't used the 16-45 since you got it?

I believe all the DAs have override. And I would be very happy to
realize that my 16-45 is weather sealed, but I certainly doubt
so. BTW
the direct comparison of IQ between 16-45 and 17-70 would be great.
