Kris, wide is still pretty achievable with m4/3, Oly has just released the 9-18 for m4/3 and in the case of 4/3 there is the lovely 7-14 which I have recently invested in

I will happily recommend Pentax although I'm no longer a user. High quality kit with 'a feel good factor'. Output is excellent too.

I would say though that no one system is all out better than another, each has positives and negatives, the trick is picking the one that is right for you

I'd say an open and not open case

I like them all but with a preference for the framing in number 2.

An interesting thread started by Peter, I often wondered the same about Stefan

Nice to know a little more about you Stefan, very best of luck with your endeavours and I hope it works out for you

Use Autofocus and keep your specs on !!! I do !!
That will be more than a challenge with a manual focus lens

Colin, I would suggest a horizontal split prism focus screen from either Katz Eye optics link or focusing screen.com link

I'm just a little peeved that almost the exact same lens somehow gets a very different review ranking - yes it's only half a star, but 3.5/5 versus 4/5 is actually a big difference - esp considering there is only 1 star separating the kit lens (18-55) from a DA*. Furthermore, almost every review site seems to slag the Pentax glass, but if they see the Tokina on another platform they go ape shit over it. Maybe this is just a bit of a rant. So [/rant]
Well there is always the sample variation factor to consider, so perhaps Photozone got a bad version of your lens to review, it happens.

If you are happy with your lenses and they delivery the goods that is really all that matters

I think the combination of images and the data is important. You can quickly see how the lens performs at different apertures and focal lengths from the data and then witness some real world examples.
All good as far as I can see, I think they do a worthy unbiased job.
