Well.....
I'm sure you know how it is. You already have a wonderful lens that covers
an approximate FL you need perfectly. It performs as well or even better
than you hoped it would before you purchased it.
But, it seems, with LBA... once you covet a lens, that desire just lays in wait
for a weak moment.
The whole reason I got the 16-45 was so I could finally banish the thought of
the DA 15ltd from my mind forever. You can see how well that worked out.
But, really, I'm a Pentaxian, at least partially, and I'm here to shoot the M's, K's,
Takumars, and Limiteds. Right? That's enough justification, right?
By the way, have you seen this jewel in person? 15mm of tiny optical joy.
This goes on your camera and your creativity goes back up like a healthy white
count.
It's still freezing here, and will be for at least a week. Hopefully I'll be able to
go out on walkabout sometime soon with my new wide.
(thx to Marc and everyone else who's been showing images from this lens lately.
I hope you're proud of yourselves.)
And regarding the 16-45 - I think I'll keep it, at least I hope I find an excuse to.
It truly is a boatload of IQ in a small, inexpensive zoom.
First snaps from the 15:

Just though I would add a little ethnic diversity to the "nude girl" posts. This is from part if a series of nudes "skin," not as in naked, but models I have shot that have amazing skin color, tone & texture !!!
