In only one case (28-105) the Nikon is better optically, and vastly better mechanically than the Pentax I had (FA 28-105/4-5.6 power zoom). Otherwise, I haven't noticed the Nikkors being "sharper", when I can compare comparable lenses. In practice, however, I have been able to get AF lenses in the focal length/f stop version I want with Nikon. For much of the shooting I do AF is important, I get more shots in focus with Nikon and in focus pictures are way sharper than out of focus ones. I haven't noticed any real difference in flare. If there's any difference it is insignificant compared to what you get with 3rd party lenses. Other practical advantages has to do with things like much greater, and often cheaper selection of used, original maker (I've pretty much sworn off 3rd party lenses), AF Nikkor lenses. (Remember, I live in the US and not Norway.)

If you have Nikon system, too how you assess Pentax lenses (in general) in comparison with Nikon.
Probbaly one cannot say in general. Just your impressions.
Some people believe Nikkors are better some not...
