I think the matter is widely debated, but you seem pretty sure about your statement giofi wrote:

Maybe the OP could post a few pictures taken at different apertures and against light?

Twin Peaks is also on Netflix, in case you have it.

Hi Andrew,
I do not know about the camera, but Twean Peaks was definitely in the 90s....

Both great shots, and the first is my favourite

Thanks to all of you for the kind comments!
I have not compared them head to head, so I cannot make any scientific claim. The photos shown above are part of my very first outing with the DA 15, while I have used the 12-24 for 3 years now. Of the 12-24 I really like sharpness and the colours. As a comparison, below are a few pictures I took in the same place in Lapland 3 years ago. It was a bit earlier in the day and clear sky, so light is different:

They make me want a 15mm even more
Stuey, I cannot decide which I like more between the DA 15 and the DA 12-24, which I also have. I got the DA 15 recently thanks to a lens swap, and the intention was to decide which I would keep. But it seems to me they are very different lenses (apart from the obvious fact that one is a prime and the other a zoom).They make me want a 15mm even more

Excellent set. Was the second one composed to deliberately look like a coming together of a lion and a person?
Thanks Alan. No, I liked the composition but I did not notice that until I saw it on the computer screen.Excellent set. Was the second one composed to deliberately look like a coming together of a lion and a person?

Light in Lapland is very low and uniform, so it required quite a bit of PP, and was concerned I might have overdone it.

Def no.1. I wonder if you have more sky available before cropping as it would help the composition if the plane was not so tight into the corner and it had some sky to fly into.
Nice shot
