You say you didn't like the 15-45's power zoom.

Did you try zooming it with the focus ring rather than the power zoom control?  I find that it behaves more like the other lenses if you do that.

It is also wider than the 16-80 and very sharp at 15mm.  Some people simply use the 15-45 as a sharp, small 15mm wide angle and forget the fact that it zooms. For wide stuff. I choose it over the 16-80
