What like? You seem to use it a lot and post a lot of photos here with it. I can't see any serious disadvantages in the photos you have been posting and I often press the LIKE button.

Originally posted by house I tend to agree. Rayallens photos above (though scaled down) look pretty good perhaps some copies arebetter than ours. Im testing mine against the 12-24 at the moment with strangely inconclusive results so far.
Rayallen has learnt the best way to use it and where to focus it. You can find discussions exactly like this one online going way back to when the DA15 came out.
For anything other than close ups (where I want OOF and bokeh besides thd main subject) I use manual focus and magnified focus peaking in Liveview checking focus in all areas like any landscape photographer would do.
Talking of close ups, most people don't know or use the DA15 for this but it is brilliant for this! It has short minimum focus distance and the HD version has nice bokeh too.
