To me the 16-45mm is just a nicer lens.
The colours are better, it focuses nearly as close as the 17-70mm, the brokeh is superb .. it's just lovely to use.
Also, I have a Sigma 24-60mm f2.8 if needed so the 17-70mm is just sitting there doing nothing.

Asked the same thing when I joined the forum.
It was a toss up between the MKII, the 16-45mm and the Sigma 17-70mm macro.
Bought the 16-45mm in the end but always wondered if I had done the wrong thing so when a 17-70mm came up a few weeks ago for a decent price I bought it.
17-70mm is going back up for sale.

I have just aquired a Pentax F* 300mm f4.5 and my Sigma 2X DG EX converter doesn't autofocus on that either.
The Tamron 1.4X works fine though.

Just a quick comment to say I had the Pentax F* 300mm off Richard and it arrived exactly as described .. my first * lens and I can now see why people say such good things about them
Really nice guy to talk with as well.

Well I was actually suprised it fetched £350 to be honest.

Ah yes, that makes me feel so much better I thought I'd at least let you know that it will be going to a good home.
Seriously, well done on winning it .. you got the lens for a very good price and hopefully we will see some decent photos on here take with it now you have your first post out the way.
Mine hasnt arrived.
Saying that I didn't pay for it until 2am this morning so I suppose it wouldn't

Bristol Street cameras had it for pre order at £625 but I notice the price has risen somewhat now.

The lens seems fine but I am having problems with the tubes, they are not working in the "A" setting .. the "F" on the camera just constantly flashes as if using a fully manual lens.
The contacts look clean and the tubes thenselves look brand new .. just wondering if I am doing something wrong as have never used tubes before.
Thanks.
