Not really, although I do like it. It seems every lens has it's own personality. I have found the 16-45 to be like one of those eager cartoon dogs that just wants to do it all, fails occasionally, but in the end always has a smile. You can't but love it.
The DA21 on the other hand is more like a racehorse, refined and specialized. I just recently got one in Silver to match my K3 and am positively thrilled with it. The failure rate is minuscule and, of course, solely my own fault
. Although I could easily tote the DA15 along I tend to leave it home more and more since getting the 21.
