Hi Sean, looking at the EXIF F20 and F22 won't help you. Most lenses are at their best two stops down from wide open. Most lenses deteriorate once you get past F11. The DA 15mm Limited is good at starbursts to F16 but this is atypical I think. Others know more on subject.
Your top image at 1/3rd of a second looks like camera shake to me. Are you using the 2 second delay which also turns off the in camera shake reduction?
The in camera processing for shadows etc is relevant if saving as jpegs and only guidance if saving as RAW for later processing.

Never knew the the anti shake turned off on the 2sec delay setting, however i always turn that off when using a tripod .
In your experience ,what setting would you have chosen for this type of shot (ball park setting)
Thanks

Afternoon
Before i bought the 16-45 f4 i did a bit of research on this lens ,most of the reviews were very positive ,so i thought i'll just go for one .Really struggling to get sharp images that this lens is suppose to produce wither handheld or on a tripod ,tried at all f stops .I'm hoping is user errorand maybe some of you on here can help/suggest or even suggest i try something different. Maybe i've a bad copy of the lens .What basic setting do the K-r owners run their camera at ,if you don't mind me asking ,i've turned off all the processing in-camera aides ..ie highlight and shade assistance that kinda stuff .
Would appreciate any kind of feedback
Here's an example ,tripod was used in both
