My tests showed the DA14 to be be greatly superior to the A15 in sharpness, clarity, contrast, and freedom from distortion on my *ist- D. Thinking my A15 might need repair and/or recollimation, I sent it to Pentax for service (twice), but I saw little improvement. It works OK on film, but on digital I'll take the DA14 any day

And for anyone who may now be potentially disillusioned with their A15/3.5 here is a quick pic that I took using my lens for Jim when he asked the list about the A15 performance back in October. The accompanying text follows:

"Another shot (across next doors lovely front garden :-) at f8 (infinity), CA corrected, geometric distortion corrected (not perspective distortion), contrast controlled and globally sharpened. Only action missing from my normal work-flow is noise management."
