Originally posted by gazonk I was considering the 12-24 when I bought the 15. I'm still not always sure if I made the right choice, but I think this lens club proves that there is something special about the 15. Does the 12-24 even have its own lens club?
I started with DA15 and had it for over one year, and I was and am happy with it, specially when I found it is one of my most used lenses alongside Tamron 17-50 and DA18-135 which are general zooms. that you carry around and burst out in family events.
But eventually some months ago decided to get the zoom as well. While the zoom is sharper, and has more range. DA15 is so small and flare resistance and nice. that now I understand people who were saying they can't part with either one, because I too can't.
