I'm not using my 15/3.5 primarily as it's a bit more of a beast to carry around in my smaller kit plus it's a tad slower than the A16/2.8. Fisheye to rectilinear conversion is so easy and fast to execute these days that it's like I'm always carrying two lenses when I get out with the 16mm. The added advantage is that I can now just as easily incorporate very accurate perspective correction into the single high quality conversion. I would also like to see a new wide or ultra wide that wasn't a zoom, a limited would be nice. Their WA line-up apart from the zooms is quite long in the tooth these days.
