Someone (I think it was Cotty) sent me a couple of full resolution files once before which I compared with the DA14. I found them to be on par overall, and the DA14 is quite a bit easier to manage in use. It also has the quickshift focusing mount. (Aside: As I mentioned, I ended up bringing the DA21, FA35 and FA77 on this trip. I was out shooting today ... with these three lenses as my kit, the difference and convenience using the DA21 with its QuickShift focus clutch becomes very noticeable! I was surprised at just how much less of the time I had to flip the camera to manual focus because of it.) Anyway, I'd like to see some more 15mm f/3.5 samples if you make them available. My DA14/2.8 samples are here: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/14mm-examples/ Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
