hum, not sure. My goal is to get either the da21 (if I can find it at an affortable price) or the da15.
I am only concerned about bad comments about both lenses (including reviews). I d like to have real field comments about them.

I am having a bad time trying to find a WA lens.
To make the story short, I own a DA40, M28, M50 1,7 & A50 2, M135 3,5. As a prime shooter, I realized 90% of my shots are out of the DA40 which is a perfect lens (at least for me). I like its angle, and find the autofocus convenient in most situations. I do use my other lenses, but way less often.
I'd like to change my point of view and go wider. So I chose the DA21 because it was DA40 little brother. I first found out it is really hard to find here, only on order and really expensive. Other users (like all ppl I met) let me know this lens is hard to find and the "weakest" limited prime. I have to admit this is in line with reviews :(
So I am now thinking about the DA15, but reviews I read where really not stellar. I like the size, but if I get better quality with the 12-24 ... I think it is hard to accept. The DA14 is to big and I am not really looking for 2,8 ...
So now my choice is between 15 and 21, which are both expensive (15 less than 21 ... weirdly) or forget about wide and try to go for DFA100 ... which would be good for macro and portrait.
Anybody has an advice or a suggestion? (I do know I am a sever lba case).

While stopping by my local dealer I noticed they had remote F for 10E, so I grabed one.
I think it is great, because of its size (mostly smaller than nonames from eb**). I can take it anywhere in my small kit. I use it mostly with the camera down on a table or on a tripod.
I not not really use it a lot for self portraits but did not see any real limitation ...
It is small (good when traveling), cheap and it achieves pretty well what it is done for.
You might afterwards be interested in using it as a trigger when the camera is on a tripod.
An other solution might be to read over the net, some users succeeded to use a multi-device remote for TV, camcorders ... some old pentax/samsung codes might work. I did not test myself, but if you already got this kind of remote, it will be a cheap solution.
