On the other Pentax forum, the "15mm Controls My Mind" thread is over 230 pages and shows no signs of ever going away. This lens not only does so many things exceptionally well, the creative aspects of it become addictive.

Don't start that here please! I simply can't stand it. It's the one UWA lens I don't have and I don't need any LBA encouragement.

Well, ok go ahead an rave about it, I just won't look. Yah right!

I've never see such a stirr about any lens. Actually, it was you, Tim, that first told me about that thread after I bought and started raving about it a year or two ago here--and it's not even the kind of lens suited for the auto-everything, "walk-about" majority.

Ron - Do you think we can persuade Earl into LBA of this gem?

I don't know, Craig. I tried to do that a long time ago, but there were some Tamaron and Sears lenses he just had to have first.

Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok...

The next lens I buy will be the DA 15 limited. I just can't stand it anymore. (because I now have those sears and tamy lenses anyway).
