Hello, I am looking for the Pentax DA-15mm Ltd lens in good condition (DA preffered, but HD would also be ok). Delivery to Riga, Latvia. Please, send me you reasonable offers. I have bough/sold several lenses here.
Regards, Davis

The HD one is better again. The myth that the HD can't starburst is myth also. Good luck.

Good luck with your search, I'm not parting with my DA 15mm

A word of warning - the DA 15mm is prone to de-centring, whereby one or more elements is not properly in the optical centre of the lens. This causes one side of images to be softer than the other. I've read a lot of reports of this on the net, so make sure you check for this with any lens that you buy. A good 15mm will give you nice results though, so worth getting one.

I agree, i was more assuming that I am ok with older/cheaper lens, which DA would probably be

Thanks for the warning, have not actually heard of this issue. I have 21,35,70 Ltds already so 15mm is my last missing piece in ideal set up

In the case you are still looking for the lens I might sell mine (DA).

I am looking for 330€, shipping not included (I need to check but should be about 12-15€).
