Here is what people are saying about the PENTAX SMCP-DA 16-45mm Zoom f/4.0 ED/AL Camera Lens
5 Star Rating  "Great Lens"2009-09-07
- Reviewed By User: A2C83UF47KXEQH
Great wide zoom lens for K20D. Have had great results with the lens for landscape photography. Colors are wonderful. Excellent sharpness and detail. Was a great pick compared to kit lens.

For the constant f 4.0 and quality of this glass along with the sharpness and color you just can't go wrong. I just love the quality and fair prices of pentax products! I just can't wait to do some night shooting with it.
 
4 Star Rating  "A "Good Enough" Classic"2009-03-12
- Reviewed By User: A3QF1GUK9PYT0V
This lens will be one of Pentax's classics, I think. There's nothing very sexy about it. It uses the old Pentax screwdriver-in-slot AF (as opposed to their new in-lens HSM), its maximum aperture's only f/4, and its zoom range ends at an odd point, 45mm (67.5mm equivalent on Pentax DSLR's) -- a bit short of traditional portrait length. It lacks the build quality of Pentax's premium DA* lenses. It isn't weatherproof.

But at this price point it's a gem. The build is decent, and by using plastic instead of metal, putting the AF motor in the camera rather than in the lens, limiting the aperture to f/4 and the zoom range to 3X, Pentax kept the lens light and small. It's not expensive, it has a constant aperture, autofocus is fast and accurate, and (most important) it's optically excellent.

I already have the Pentax DA* 50-135/2.8, a beautiful zoom, and thought of buying the matching DA* 16-50/2.8, but I was put off by reports of poor quality control in the 16-50. So instead (and for half the price) I bought a 16-45. When it arrived I tested it by photographing a tabletop still life, including a test pattern, with my Pentax 21mm, 31mm and 40mm Limited primes at all apertures from f/4 through f/16, then making the same photo with the zoom at the same focal lengths and apertures. In almost every case the 16-45 matched the primes for center focus and sharpness, even at f/4.

Yes, the primes are better -- they have better corners, less vignetting, more overall contrast, an indefinable "snap" that gives the primes what I think of as the Pentax Look. And yes, the zoom does have an optical flaw: blue/yellow fringing where bright and dark areas are juxtaposed. (Seldom a problem, but it's there.) I'm hanging on to my primes.

But where the subject is dynamic, not static -- a party or a public event, for instance, as opposed to studio or landscape work -- a zoom is just the ticket. I'm confident this one will deliver good results, indistinguishable in most prints from what I'd get with a prime.

If you can make do with f/4 and don't mind paying less for more, I recommend this lens.
 
5 Star Rating  "The very best lens for this price!"2009-03-06

Sharp, light.
F/4 is usable, F/5.6 is already very sharp. The wide angle is better than 45mm end.
Lens is well built.
Strongly recommended!
B.T.W. Amazon provide excellent costumer service.
 
5 Star Rating  "THIS LENS JUSTIFIES THE HYPE ABOUT IT."2009-02-08
- Reviewed By User: A2WVSXEGZZ1SL3
I bought this lens in large part because of the excellent reviews of it on this site. It is almost everything the best reviews say it is. More specifically, optically it is everything they say it is: superb. My quibbles are two-fold, and may be unjustified. First, the lens is not built like the very best lenses -- too much plastic! Then again, the lens costs about $250, which makes it an incredible bargain for this quality of glass. (It may be that we simply have to get used to all the plastic. I remember the first time I picked up a Pentax DSLR (in 2004); compared with my LX, it felt like a toy because of all that plastic. I doesn't feel that way any more.)

My second quibble is about the focal length. 45mm (~67.5mm w/35mm format) is a very odd focal length, not quite long enough for a portrait lens.

On the PLUS side: I am surprised that none of the reviews mentions that the lens will focus down to eleven inches. I took a picture of a log on the beach at about that distance (11"), and the detail, and the color, were stunning. This lens is vastly superior to the 18-55mm kit lens, and for the money, it is a great bargain. There is also a 16-50mm Pentax zoom available with a fixed f/2.8 max aperture, but it costs about 2.5 times as much as this lens and is substantially bigger.
 
5 Star Rating  "After years of use, this lens still rocks!"2009-02-05
- Reviewed By zhorkon
I won't repeat all the superlatives others have already written... Read their in-depth reviews! However, I would like to mention that I bought one of these 16-45s way back when they first came out - must have been around '03 or '04 - and after thousands of pictures it still functions perfectly. I use it more than all my other lenses combined, which means daily. I find it incredible to see Amazon offering this gem for two & a half c-notes in Feb 2009; I paid more than twice as much - in Hong Kong, no less... land of really cheap camera gear! - and I still think *that* was a bargain. Very few zooms can go up against fixed focal length primes and come out on top: for the Pentax system, this is the one that can! Grab one while you can...
