You are joking right?
5. You should learn more about the differences between fringing and CA, before you come up here, as it seems you are confused.
6. Show me a DA 12-24mm image on photozone which has more CA or fringing than this shot taken with DA 15mm (

My point? I don't have a point I'm just answering illogical and childish claims that DA 12-24mm (due to CA) and the DA 21mm (barrel distorion, vignetting) are useless and the DA 15mm is the holy grail of lenses. I say it's not, and you seems to have a problem with that.
8.
Proven by whom? A fact is you don't get CA in every image as proven by many images posted. Even on Photozone.de.

9. Thank you Alex00, that's very good thing to know. You may have forgotten but this is the second time you ask this question, already answered here (
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/101189-should-...ml#post1046919) and you said that you
understand here (

Originally posted by Alex00 Stop trying to jump from one subject to another, First it's distortions, then CA, now you're going into cureveture.
Am I really doing that? Sorry, I was merely replying to your posts, which is of not much help to you, as you seems very confused. But worry not, I will try and help you out:
Maybe you forgot again but you are the first who involved the distortion in this thread here (
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/101189-should-...ml#post1046407)
The word
distortion mentioned by me here (
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/101189-should-...ml#post1046951) was in regards to what You said: "use f5.6 for things like portraiture to limit DOF and get maximum center sharpness. DA 15mm is capable of producing stunning portraits". And I told you using ultra wideangle lens like the DA 15mm at f/5.6 for portraits and trying to achieve limited DoF will not work unless you get really close, and you get
face distortion.
Just a reminder, you seems to be avoiding points 1, 2 and 3. made in my previous comment. Please as I kindly respond to each of your points feel free to do the same for me.
Thank you Alex00.
