sorry, I should qualify my SDM-sucks statement.

I find the focus speed slow for this lens. Yes, I agree that SDM promises no speed improvements, only quieter. I get it. My point: Give me a lens that has both, or atleast a faster focus. Surely there are enough users SHOUTING for this requirement as even P&S cameras push this feature now. pentax: if you're going to make a "star" lens, make it a star. From what I've read (and seen) it's not that much diff in quality to the 16-45 (or is it 18-45?) Given that, it's only quieter + ED glass.

readers: please don't tell me that there are faster lenses that use the screwdriver. If I wanted to go backwards I wouldn't be buying a top-o-the-line pentax slr.
