V5, your back porch looks identical to mine.

This thread is single-handedly the reason why the 15mm limited is the first lens I bought for my K5, so I figure the least I can do is add a couple of photos...

Loving it so far!

It's been a while since my DA15 has had the spotlight, but I still love it.

So much in fact, that it's taken my virginity....

My star streaks virgnity

Realizing my 28mm S-M-C Takumar simply wasn't wide enough for the star trails I wanted to do was the final nail in the coffin that brought the 15 into my hands. Haven't had a chance to set it up for trails yet. This one you got is absolutely stunning jaieger! You really hit all the lens club threads with strong game tonight!

@mason: I LOVE the jenga photo. The DA15 seems like a perfect tool to capture the precariousness of that wobbly tower of fun!

mason - Great yurt shots! Is it yours?

mason · 03-21-2011, 11:18 PM

Thanks guys!

@mattb123 Not my yurt unfortunately

just one I rented in the Idaho backcountry from Idaho parks and recreation.

By the looks of this thread, I'll be looking for a DA 15 ltd after I get my portrait prime.

Chex · 03-22-2011, 12:15 AM

Looking at jaieger's lens lineup is like looking at what mine will probably be soon too.. Maybe with a 77 in the mix

I just gotta say, this thread rocks!

I'm a relative newcomer to DSLR (bought a K-x about 4 months ago). My main interest is landscape so I was immediately interested in moving to the wide angle prime lenses. After doing a lot of research I made the plunge and picked up one of these delightful 15mm limited lenses and have been loving it! Still getting the knack for getting everything in focus (shooting in manual since auto focus seems a bit helpless lol). Anyhow thanks everyone for posting all these awesome shots! They really helped me make up my mind between several lenses. Hopefully once I get something post worthy I'll add it to the thread!

my Tamron 17-50 (basically brand new) is going up for sale to fund one of these badboys (or a 35 ltd, both eventually) primes FTW

damn you all.....

I want to play a game. It's called, "Tired Old Cliche"

If I still had my DA15, I would trade it for your 17-50.
