HUH?!? since when are we not allowed to compare the sharpness from lenses with a different focal length? (You should mail Photozone quickly; they're out of a job!) Sharpness, or the lack of it, can be compared just fine. The lack of sharpness in the DA 10-17 is not a characteristic of it being so wide. Otherwise the other UWA's would suffer from the same. It's just an indication. The DA 10-17 is not sharper then the 18-55 and the DA 12-24 is ultra-sharp, compared to the 18-55. Simple.

I forgot to post the major con of this lens in my earlier comment. (Someone has to do it.) The resolution: the IQ is not better then the kitlens. But, again, the lens more then makes up for that with it's versatility and enormous fun-factor.

I own it, and it's a versatile and fun lens. Versatile in a sense that it's not so fishy at the 17 end, and very fishy at the 10. With smart composition, you can hide the fact that it's a fisheye at 17.
Another nice feature is it's close focussing distance. Be carefull when using the viewfinder, it's easy to get too close to your subject and bump the delicate front element.
