15 Limited in silver?

DennisH · 09-02-2014, 11:40 AM

This is a seemingly easy question, but I can't seem to find an answer: was the DA 15mm Limited made in silver? Anyone have one?

I know the HD is, almost bought one.

As for the SMC, I am not soo sure, but I do not think it was.

I think not, which is probably why I can't find the answer.

depends, if you are asking about the smc or hd version .. for HD version, then yes

Only the 21, 40, and 70 were released as smc in silver.

Yeah, I meant SMC non-HD. Thanks.

OK, I'm resurrecting this thread because thanks to Pentax Forums' own dcshooter, an SMC DA 15mm Limited now exists in silver. If you're not familiar, he anodizes, colors, and repaints lenses to custom specs. I had him do my 15, and it came out great. I recommend contacting him through PM if you're interested. Here are some shots of the lens solo, on camera, and in my collection (see the theme?). Sorry about the quality; I rushed, and some are cellphone shots.
