So who doesn't like a bunch of data?
EXACTLY! WE ALL DO! :P
With the DA*'s within my price reach at the moment, I started seriously investigating the measured differences between a host of other lenses I'm familiar with. So to settle the argument for me, once and for all, I've collated data from PhotozoneDE from measurements they recorded of a K10.
It's edit friendly so if you wish to continue to collate rubbish by all means.

I was mostly interested in the DA* 16-50mm and if it was worth lusting after in comparison to say a DA 15, 21, 35, 50
So for me, Yes. I can accept a trade off in correcting CA in post for the other benefits that the Zoom offer.
T'was interesting to see how the resolution and fall off from EV really wasn't that different from the DA 15, Which I confess was the greatest worry. As I have seen sooooo many lovely images of the DA15. Good to know the DA* at 16 should be as capable.
