It been answered already but I'll ad my bit. I own a 15/3.5 and a 16/2.8 fisheye and if I were just shooting digital when I purchased these lenses I'd probably only have bought the fisheye. Apart from the weight and size differential I'll bet that either of these two lenses would be as good as if not better performers than the 14/2.8DA on a digital SLR and both would be far superior on a film camera.
