Notes:-
1. Click to Download/Enlarge for the "Full Shots". A new Window/Tab will be opened. Do note they are Large Files;
2. If your monitor does not have enough resolution to display the whole table and images at the right side but you still be able to see part of them, just right click on the partial image you want to view and then select "View Image" with your browser and then click "Back" button when finished;
3. For colour accuracy, neither are accurate, the real scene should look like somewhere in between, i.e., the 550D pics look a bit yellower than real whilst the K-x ones look a bit bluer.
Besides, I add also another pair of comparison for EF-S 18-55 IS Vs DA 16-45:-
550D + EF 18-55 IS | K-x + DA 16-45 | |
FULL SHOT | ![]() | ![]() |
Notes:-
1. Click to Download/Enlarge for the "Full Shots". A new Window/Tab will be opened. Do note they are Large Files;
2. Both shots were made using the Program Exposure Mode and Auto ISO (100 selected), EXIF data preserved.
Crops? No crops this time, you measurbate yourself! ;-)
P.S. May add DA 16-45/4 on 550D Vs EF 17-40/4L on 550D Later.

As for the FA28, it is a very sharp lens when stopped down.

My $215 used DA16-45 works nicely for movies as well and is much sharper than 18-55L kit lens what came with navy K-x.
Obviously, the $750+ Canon 17-40L is a nice lens! As for color, Pentax' more neutral looks subjectively preferable. Mostly Canon is too warm (Nikon too cold when compared elsewhere) but that can be easily adjusted in PP (or body), if user wants to fiddle with it. Fun comparison HR, thanks!

Also should be clear the Canon 17-40L and FA28 are Full Format lenses, so they use a "sweet spot" and Canon is also advertised as Digital, as opposed the FA28 is not optimized for digital at all... Just to clarify for those what are not aware of it... :o)

Pentax has ZERO at all setting and hue +1.

As for my K-x under test, it has no major shake shown, but the blur would be caused by a number of factors, e.g., inadequate resolution of the lens at that particular focal length, inaccurate focus by the AF, and so on..

I think you just posted wrongly in a different blog entry after all.
Well, I never delete any comments here, unless they meant to be severe personal attacks.
