seriously now, how much better do you think the 18mm will be compared to the current 14mm?

also while 3mm is quite a bit, people (like Ben for isntance) have noted that the DA21 actualy works even better on the K20D, so i guess it had hidden resolving power!

and even now, both lenses are superb

then you have competition from the zoom side, the 12-24, you sacrafice 0.5 of a stop for much versatility, and the obvious 16/17/-50mm F2.8 zooms we have now.

again, how much better are you expecting the IQ on this lens to be? From my slight observation i have noted that while good, the Carl lenses are not show stoppers, atleast not for the price they are sold at for the features you get.
