Sample images from the new 16-85 zoom MIA?

Apart from the post(s) from beholder3 I haven't seen much at all on the new DA 16-85 3.5-5.6 zoom.
Considering the need I believe exists for a high quality zoom in this range, there seems to be a conspicuous dearth of images from, or comments on, this lens. I've done a search of the forum but came up with very little.

Can anyone speak to the image quality of this lens, preferably on a K-3. Some sample images would be nice, particularly head and shoulders type portraits. Nothing attests to a lens' sharpness like zooming in on eyebrows and eyelashes. Anyone?
