My DA 15 arrived yesterday. Today was the first day I've had a chance to use. Here are my first experiments. I have no doubt that I am going to like this lens!

Hi everyone. There are some great pictures in this thread. Spurred by many of your pictures, I recently acquired the DA 15 and sold my Sigma 10-20...the 15 is much nicer to have with me when hiking! Here are a few pictures taken with it from some recent travels.

Are there any tips or tricks to get the sun star burst so spectacular like you see in this thread? I get one of two things, just a big blob of a sun, or a star burst at like f20, but the rest of the shot is nearly black. I never seem to get a well lite scene and a star burst at once.

I may need to have it connected to a chain around my finger or something like that.

Had a good evening walk with mine tonight. The dynamic range of the K-5 sure is nice too.

My 15mm Ltd arrived, but I had to work all night at the office- so a goofy K-01 self portrait happened...



Hope to do better when the sun comes up.

Snap. No landscapes yet, but I found a few willing models at home for some tests of perspective. This is WIIIIIDE for me so it will take some getting used to!
