It could be a matter of in camera processing if you were shooting jpegs. Even when shooting RAW the default settings of your converter can Make a huge difference. The only fair comparison is between expert renderings of each. A half dozen years ago I was shooting for Harris Publications with a K5. The art directors marveled at how sharp and detailed my images were and wanted to know what kind of camera I was using. I suspect the difference was in the rendering— and the glass. I was shooting with the DA* 60-250 and DA* 16-50. Both are superb lenses. Of course the K5 is now old technology. Paul
