The DA 70 is perhaps the lens with which I get the most stunning photos without much effort. It renders beautifully.

The 21, 40 and 70 have become pretty much my favorite lenses (well, except maybe for the 10-17 Fisheye, but that's completely different). Since this thread started with a cat picture I'll continue the theme.
First, with the DA21.
Next, with the DA40.
Finally, with the DA70.

Random shots with the FA 20 while taking a lunch walk at work. It is the only sunshine I get all day.

I use Lightroom 6 for most of my images. Now I'm not sure that in technical sense, LR allows me to pull more detail out of KP generated images. But the program may help improve the illusion that I do so. One of the things I try to do in LR is bring up the shadows and tame some of the hi-lights without compromising contrast and tonal gradations. I seek a look that looks natural but, in terms of color and contrast, is a little bit better than nature. Assuming this is successful, what it does it allows the detail in the image to be presented in the most attractive way possible, which I might in fact make the image seem more detailed. There is also, it should be noted, a tendency (1) to confuse contrast with sharpness; and (2) to confuse image quality with sharpness. So people will often assume that a more contrasty, better looking image must be sharper, since sharpness is often assumed to be the primary or sole factor of image quality.
Here's an image shot with the K-1 and the FA 80-320:
