i loved the DA 12-24 particularly because it was great at F4 as well as it infinity focussed right at the end of the throw so at night in full darkness i could set it to F4, wind it out to the end and it would always deliver a nicely focused sharp shot

Hi Shane.

I put my 12-24 on the front of the k3 again yesterday and went down to the waterfront here in Geelong.

Used f5.6 - f6.3 and focused using 24mm then wound it back to required focal length.

That worked well and i can only think because of the focal length everything seemed far away and thus detail was out.

I purposefully used images where the edges came into play .... and the images were very good.

it seems the great performing 12-24 was right under my nose.

The thread and excercise has been valuable with DA16-45mm and newer DA10-17 being other great edge performers, along with im sure, the new 16-50 plm
