I suggest the reviewer test another copy or his own testing method. Like 'GoremanX' mine is very sharp at all focal lengths with a slight vignetting at 40 though. I use f5.6/f8 for most everything, in the studio f8 has always been my fstop. If I want to shoot wide open I use the FA43mm. I am so happy with this lens, 23mm and 33mm are awesome. I prefer this to my FA31 that does not like bright reflected light conditions, always having to use black flags around it in the studio. What I am getting at is I'm not sure why this lens is getting bashed when there are others that should including the famous FA31. Oh and another thing, no purple fringing like that wonderful FA31mm. This is a terrific lens worthy of it's price!

Well I did receive my lens and all seems in good order. I considered that the Pentax K5 and certain lenses would be of pro quality and of lasting endurance as my 67s. It's all there but something maybe adrift I fear. Although I have the FA31mm and the FA43mm I was considering the 16-50 but have reservations at this point because of the 'hit or miss' SDM situation. Managing quite well though as the two lenses I have are similar to the 67s 90mm and 135mm which are my workhorse lenses.
All the best
