I went the other way and moved from 16-45 to DA 15 and never looked back.
I'm really quite surprised by the comments in favour of the 16-45 over the DA 15. In my experience the DA 15 wins hands down; distortion, sharpness, FoV and the intangeable fun factor.
IMO, a fixed focal length is often an advantage too. I work harder and take better shots when I use a prime. You learn the FoV and perspective of the particular focal length, and the lens itself becomes less of a barrier or restriction.
Robin, that's a great quote about never losing a shot.
I have to go against the grain of this particular thread and highly recommend the DA15. For my uses it is great, and I sold the 16-45.
However what is most important is that you try and figure out what suits you best. Look through the best pictures of each lens and try to relate them to what you shoot. Also don't forget the usage and feel of the lens itself, for me it's significant anyway.
cheers,
Jason
