When I purchased my K-5 II the widest lens I had was the DA 18-135mm. The lens I was eventually wanting was the DA 15mm F4. Meanwhile awhile back B&H has the sale on the Bower 14mm f/2.8 manual focus lens. I really liked the image results from this lens, but it was large and could not take any filters, so I still wanted the DA 15mm. Finally B&H had a sale on this lens and it becomes part of my kit.
I decided to do a comparison test between the lenses I have. For location I picked the inside of our church. I was not concerned with white balance. Focus point was the top of the white table leaned on its side at the back of the roll of chairs.
Photos were taken in RAW, converted to JPG with no sharpening or other processing, other than adding the text to identify which lens was used.
