Hi Joe,
I like your test shots too. The same lens is on my wish list. it would be a real treat though if Santa delivered one.
Am I right in assuming the built in hood gets in the way of a filter holder though?

Enjoy the DA 15mm! It's on my 'sell a child before this lens' list

Yes - but I've seen reports of fixes. Disco-Owner on the "15mm rules my mind" thread on 'tother forum reported using a UV/glassless filter to get enough clearance for a 49mm wide angle filter holder link.

thanks for the comments, the 3rd one is a lavender field, now i have found it will go back when it is in bloom. yes, i pushed the glass out of an old filter and can fit my adapter and holder to the lens, have yet to try it. next bright sunny day i want to try it with the Hoya R72 IR filter.

Be really interested to see how you get on with this

I've just read through all the user reviews (with photos many of them)on the USA Pentax Forum. I want one more than ever now.
