No thank you. I can read. I'm tempted to ask if you can see.
But that would be impolite, so I will not do that ;-)

To me it seem that the majority of user reports suggests otherwise. I also think the pictures samples in the review does.
Maybe we should try to read behind the formal findings.
Perhaps the test has errors? I see a tendency towards weak results from wide angle lenses. One possible explanation is that the test methodic does not take into consideration that the lens has field curvature.

I've been reading the comments and reports on this lens, and can't help asking what criteria for a good lens is.
Many seem to compare it with the new Art 18-35 from Sigma concluding the Pentax offering is lower optical quality than the Sigma. Ok Sigma seem sharper, but look at the general rendering. Look at the bokeh. Not how much blur the lens makes, but the QUALITY of the blur.
By all means. If you need a super sharp lens, buy the Sigma. Or perhaps better, change system to Nikon ;-) But if you are looking for the pleasant Pentax rendering, it seem the 20-40 is a strong contender.
I should probably say the I havent tried any of them personally. I just speaking from my general impression from. The samples seen at the web. I should probably appologise for some typoes to, just in case ;-)
