Thanks for the review, Klaus.
Ugh, the results are even worse than I expected!!
As others said, I guess the reason this lens gets somewhat good praises is because of the very good sharpness at all apertures/focal lengths combined with a good contrast.
However, the borders are pretty much the worst of any lenses you have tested!
I wonder what Pentax is doing? Do they suck so bad now at lens design?
They would be better off hiring some of Tamron engineers <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
