I needed a little time to get familiar, but the DA 21 is a great little lens!

Just to clarify, what did you mean by "wide-open urban landscape"? You meant the lens aperture was wide open?

With a bit of a crop, but the color rendition made me happy...

Lovely colours indeed. Was this with post-processing, or direct from the lens, ie. the intrinsic color rendering of the lens?

That is a great shot!!

I hardly ever need a wider lens than the DA21, and although LBA is a constant pain I never saw much need to buy the DA15.

Here are 3 shots taken with the DA21 in Venice a few days ago.
