I used to own Tam 17-50, that did not have these problems. I am more of convinced that most of the complaint cases on back/front focusing is caused by users & camera AF interaction. In the end, AF is an automated solution that focuses on something by certain rules and, as we all know, this can never be 100% accurate and sometimes, especially in low light or high-contrast cases, it is fooled often enough

Good remark. AF is not the God and you still have to get used to it and make sure it focuses correctly or simply - where you plan. I have a good example - my AF miss rate is low, as I am constantly monitoring how the AF is locked and my eyesight is good enough to tell that if it is not correct. Then for my girlfriend who just "clicks" the button, of course the miss rate is much higher.

Do simple test. Take a newspaper, book etc... open a page and focus on the certain part of the text and make sure it is in focus in Viewfinder. Then check the picture - if you see the same, lens is ok and it is you who needs the "exchange" , if you see misfocuss in picture - that means the lens has focuss issues.

Have you considered buying used flash? If you find one in good condition you can definately afford some better flash.

F.ex., I managed to ebay Pentax 540 in a very good condintion in aroud GBP 180, which is only 10 GBP above your budget.

So my real advice - get good flash. Poor flashes have higher rate of disappointment, as none of the flashes will work perfect just like that.

If you can't afford good flash in a new condition, wait until good offer pop up for used one.

Also Sony CZ 16-80 is 3.5-4.5. And this was not cheap lens. So I guess 16-85 F 2.8 DA* type would cost a fortune that few could afford ;(

When I used to shoot Sony, CZ 16-80 was my most loved lens. I could not find any similar.
the only pitty for DA*16-80 is that the plan is only for 2013
until that I'll have to live with 16-50 and primes
