The best APS-C DSLR "digital" standard lens performer for its money.

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: Best Buy.
Review: Preamble: This review is intended for advanced amateurs to professional photographers. Some of the terms used will not be explained in details, however, I would try to explain them in brief within brackets. If you still do not know exactly what the...

Mixed performance

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2007
Review: This is a lens that you both love and hate. First of all, it seems a little large for its range and aperture. It almost double its length at 16mm. The built-in flash would be blocked a little beyond 28mm. Centre sharpness is decent but corner...

Excellent general-purpose zoom

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2006
Review: The Pentax 16-45 zoom is a constant aperture zoom with a number of features which distinguish it from the normal kit lens supplied with low end digital cameras. It produces very sharp photos at enlargements up to 8X10". I have used the lens now for...

My worst buy ever

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you have kit 18-55 lens, avoid it. If dont then buy 18-55 instead this expensive lens.
Review: I have photography experience from film and start shooting digital almost 2 yrs ago. I'm not fan of post processing by photo shop or something. I take it whatever comes from camera/lens.

Construction is solid. There is no flaw in body of...

Unbeatable bang for the buck! Top pick!

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2007
Review: With the introduction of DA*16-50/2.8, this little brother has become available used on EBay at 1/2 its original price. This makes the DA 16-45/4 ever more appealing than the kit DA 18-55 due to the vastly superior optical performance (sharp wide...
