DA 16-45mm cannot be marked down for distortion, in fact it should be listed as a Pro. At 16mm it has lower distortion than the 17-70's at 17mm. The superzooms (18-200-250 etc) have horrendous distortion in comparison, and the 18-55's have as much distortion at 18mm as the 16-45 at 16mm. The 16-45mm beats everything else on the list for wide-angle distortion.
Loud AF? I'd like to see some proof that the 16-45mm is any louder than the other screw drive lenses on the list.
