Here is a recent shot with the K-3 and new HD DA 15/4 Limited
I liked the detail and how flare was under control with the sun in the image.

alluring scene; yes, there is a slight violet flare (and some CA in the
branches), but it's far better than most lenses can do
i'm curious what aperture that was shot at; i often shoot into the sun with my
SMC 15/4 and get good results; as pointed out to me by Alex, this test suggests
that HD and SMC versions of this particular lens have almost the same flare
characteristics and the major difference is due to the blades (see the starburst):

however that is a night shot and i'd like to see a side-by side shot like
yours, of the SMC and HD 15mm in daylight too see whether HD improves contrast
substantially; that might be more important to me than the starburst
