I like these, and have to amit to more than a fleeting interest as the '15' is top of my wish list TBH
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

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?

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.

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.
