Have you held the lens up to a very bright light and looked thru it ( just the lens, not mounted on camera)??
Maybe there is hazing or seperation or extreme dust or something affecting the sharpness and contrast? I have the SM version and it is very sharp and constrasty especailly the center sharpness.

The first 5 were taken with Centuria Super 100, the rest were with Velvia 100F. My impression is that all 15mm pictures lack the "punch". Am I expecting too much for such 30yrs old design? http://www.pbase.com/wlachan/pentax_1535 Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan _________________________________________________________________ Designer Mail isn't just fun to send, it's fun to receive.
