Originally posted by kacansas03 I love the images but I am suffering sticker shock. Anyone know of a somewhat less expensive 14 to 16 prime focal length lens?
The DA15 does turn up in the marketplace here, but they never last long
Usually around 450.00. Adorama's current price is 499 (when you put it in the basket the proper price turns up). Offhand I can't think of any WA primes that cost much less, anyone? WA primes are an area where we can't go back into legacy lenses - they didn't need to make an SMC-M 15mm for film cameras :P You want APS-C wide angle, you gotta get a newer lens unfortunately.
I should add, the Limited lenses don't lose their market value (they actually increase - the DA40 is more expensive used now than it was new when it first came out). Buying one isn't much of a risk because you can always resell it for very near the cost you paid. Not that your wife will let the DA15 Ltd. off her camera once she has it
These limited lenses are a primary cause of LBA, they are just fantastic quality from build to optics to little winged faeries that bring you the lens straight from the aether
