On facebook someone was asking about the 15-30. It turned out that I had already made an album of some photos I had taken with the 15-30 at night, and I added a few more stretching the definition of night to duskish. It turns out that most of my reasons for the 15-30 are more about versatility (zoom, reasonably fast, reasonably wide, and weather sealing) rather than absolute technical ability. It doesn’t matter how sharp the lens is if I can’t use it to take the photo I’m trying for.
I bought it when I bought my K-1, because to me the main technical advantage of the K-1 was faster lenses at wider angle of view than I could get with an APS body. I.e. there wasn’t a 10-20 that was f/2.8 or faster in APS. Aside from nerding out about the gear, I think I have gotten a few decent images with this lens. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157694628847712 -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
