The 15-30 is an outstanding uwa zoom. The weight issue has bitten me several times prompting me to sell a couple copies. I recently picked up another and, oddly, it does not seem so ungainly heavy this time. Hoping that impression lasts because I really like the images it produces.

I got that feeling when I've tried Sigma 35mm Art with K-1 for the first time. It felt so heavy compare to my other primes. Perhaps it may be the fact that shorter heavy lenses feel heavier than the same weight longer telephoto lenses. I expect that 15-30mm will feel heavier than DA*300mm.
