Quality-wise, it's a bit worse than the 16-45, but the difference is not so obvious. The zoom range and the silent focus are true bonuses for my photography, hence I'm not tempted to get back to the 16-45 (which I still own). Dario -----Messaggio originale----- From: Mark C Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2013 12:07 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Opinions on DA 17-70 f4 I'm thinking about getting a DA 17-70 f4 as an upgrade to my DA 16-45 f4. Mostly looking for a little more reach and less gap between the long end and the short end of the telephoto zoom that I usually carry with it. I don't really need an f2.8 lens and, besides, they are not much longer than the one I have. Does anyone have any experience wit this lens? The user reviews I have stumbled into seem to be inconsistent. Photozone.de gives it fairly high marks...
