What happened to your 15?

Short story,I broke the casing on the K-50 and sent it in for repair. Took 6 weeks, over the summer. Stir crazy, I bought a K-3ii which I would have done eventually anyway. The DA 15 was traded in to reduce the cost of the K-3ii. I did so knowing that I would get the DA 21 as a replacement.
The 15 was a beautifully built lens, I miss that.

It's always quite funny when you get a change of angle in the shadow - produces interesting distortions

Interesting thread. Particularly since we normally take great pains to avoid having our shadow in a photo

Not me!

Actually, if you see the shadow as just another bit of pictorial design not as a mistake it can be quite a useful tool in adding interest or information - have a go!
