Pentax 15

Compact and lightweight ; High quality aluminium construction ; Quick shift manual focus system ; Built-in sliding hood (but see below) ; Good flare resistance ; Almost no distortion ; Small 49mm thread, doesn't require slim filters

Rather soft at F4 - F5.6 ; Hood design causes problems with filter use (particularly square systems)

Very solid and well-done casing ; Sensational image quality in the frame centre ; Moderate chromatic aberration ; Low distortion for such an angle of view ; Negligible astigmatism ; Very fast and efficient autofocus

Weak image quality on the edge of the frame ; Distinct coma

The SMC-DA 15mm f/4 AL ED Limited is a another desirable pancake lens by Pentax. The lens is capable of producing very sharp and contrasty images at medium aperture settings. At large apertures the border quality is somewhat softer so it may not be the...
