I have both lenses. The M 20 f4 is a very good lens. On an APS-C DSLR, it features better edge to edge sharpness than the DA 15. But in virtually all other respects, the DA 15 is better: it is contrastier, better flare control, richer, better color rendition, better rendering. The DA 15 will consistently, under a variety of lighting conditions, produce images that look better than what you'll get out of the M 20.
