Originally posted by wmf2012 I own DA*55 and DA*16-50 before with K5 , i might be get a "bad copy" because i'm not happy with the result in term of image quality. somehow i feel my cheap kit lens 18-55 WR produce a better image quality. Now i'm a bit confuse... i sold the lens to others and they are very happy with the result... this is either my K5 not good to use those or something else... thinking to buy the limited now..
Hmm, that`s confusing indeed...you mean both DA*`s performed worse than the WRkitlens?
My DA*16-50 beats my 18-55WR with 2 hands down, one eye closed and standing on one leg. I also have the 15 and the 35ltd and IQ is on par with the DA* (or visa versa), they just render different (more dreamy, hard to discribe)
