Had my first opportunity to shoot with the 15mm Limited yesterday evening. Sadly I missed the actual sunset and there is not much of interest to shoot in suburbia in Illinois in late February, especially when there is no snow. For just a quick walk around the neighbor hood I think this lens is a winner.
So here are my first few attempts.

Mike,
Thanks for the pointers. I think I am going to play around with the lens and for a while before I make the investment in the cokin system.
Thanks

Mike,
Which Cokin filter system do you use, I was under the impression that they did not work well for lenses wider than 20mm, but seeing your pics I guess you have found a way to make it work.
Would a setup like this work?
Get a cheap 49mm filter, Tiffen 49mm UV Protector Filter 49UVP B&H Photo Video remove glass.
Get a Lee 49mm wide angle adapter, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/87140-REG/LEE_Filters_WAR049_Adapter_Ring_49mm.html I would hope this is just enough distance to get past the lens hood without creating vignette.
Do you think I could fit a 49mm to 67mm step up adapter instead of the 49mm tiffen filter. The reason being is that I have another lens with a 67mm filter size, so that way I could use the same Lee Adapter ring for both lenses.
Attach Lee Filter Holder LEE Filters Foundation Kit FK B&H Photo Video with only 1 or 2 sets of filter holder blocks.
Then slide in what ever ND or ND Grad filter I wanted to use (HiTech, Lee, etc..)
I assume this could be done a little cheaper if I went with Cokin instead of Lee, right?
Thanks

Well this thread got to me and I purchased the 15 limited, it will be here tomorrow. I have seen many great landscape shots, but how are most of you controling the brightness of the sky:/
Grad ND filter with a hard transition, like a Lee or conkin filter system?
Or are you exposure stacking and fixing in Photoshop?
Or is stopping the lens down and using a long shutter time enough to keep the sky from blowing out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I will be taking my lens to Asheville NC next week and I hope to get some good waterfall and Blue Ridge parkway shots.
