that's good to know but are you talking much sharper at F11-F22? I cant see how there would be a big difference in that range, the A24-50 is really good in that range on digital size sensor. The A24-50 is also much smaller and lighter tha the 16-50 isnt it? That matters to me when the camera is

At f13 and smaller you're hitting the diffraction limits of the sensor/lens combo and giving up quality. Unless DoF is an issue, there's no good reason to stop down past f11 on 1.5x crop digital. The 16-50 will outperform the 24-50 at apertures where diffraction limits are not an issue. -Adam On
