Exactly. I don't think this lens is much sharper than 16-50 PZ less than 25 mm or so and f/5.6 or smaller opening. However, my 16-50mm PZ turns into mush above 25 or so and isn't as strong at say f/3.5. Also, this lens will flare more. I do like that it is pretty solid through the range and doesn't fall off much at 50mm.

Thanks!

Hi Eric, is this about that old 16-50mm PZ that you thought it was a very bad copy or did you get a new one?

No, issue with that one is it is a review copy from Amazon Vine, so I don't have any sort of Warranty (no invoice).  I will still contact support and see if they will do anything, but just haven't gotten around to it.
