Nice shot! How do you like that lens? I've been thinking about getting it and was just researching it today in fact.

The 15mm strikes again, a great image, well done.

Thank you. I was hesitant to get the 15 limited because of said soft corners issue. I am very glad I did because even though the corners are a real problem in certain situations I learned to bypass it and I enjoy the magic of this lens that sometimes takes me by surprise (this photo for example, even though I like it, might use some magic I think - hence my request for comments).
I say magic because I don't know how to describe the qualities of the lens that make me take better photos. the ones I can describe are great colors, flare resistance, sharpness (when it shines), the famous star bursts and of course the tiny size. I am not aware of any super wide angle slr lens the covers the APS-C frame and is even close to the size and comfort of the 15.

Thanks!

Looks like it got into Flickr explore. Anyone knows how that happens?

Looks like it performs very well. Your Flickr pictures, although not very large on my monitor, look very sharp. The pictures of the cave especially looked good. I might go for it... can it take a filter, and if so what is the filter diameter?

Filter diameter is 49mm like all the limiteds I think, although I must admit I never use filters of any kind.

For reference, here is another photo taken from more or less the same spot with a Sigma 24mm lens on Velvia 100 slide film (the scanner might be off with the blues, I'll have to see how the slide looks like):
