I am very satisfied with the wonderful lens! It is light and small, but it has a solid structure and expressive power, which brings more results than you can imagine. The cost performance is the best.

It's very wide-angle and it's quite usable to fit almost the whole body of a child right next to it. It was good to buy at the lowest price.

★★★★★  Good lens
Date posted : Sunday, Aug 25 2019

I compared a lot of lens with super wide angle, and at last I choose this one. It's really good, and I think it's better than 14mm F2.8..

Translated by Google It is small and lightweight.
Although it is written as 15mm, it is a wide-angle lens with an angle of view of about 23mm when converted to the 35mm format. The minimum F value is F4, but it didn't matter because I used it narrowly. Of particular note is the small size and lightness of the lens. It weighs only about 189g and doesn't hurt to carry it in your pocket. In addition to this lens, PENTAX has a wide-angle lens with DA12-24mmF4ED for zoom and DA14mmF2.8ED for single focus. I compared these lenses and purchased the HD DA15mm F4 ED with an emphasis on mobility. I felt that it was a good lens to easily capture the whole image of the building and the scenery.

Original Japanese review
小型・軽量です。
15mmの表記ですが、35mm判換算だと約23mmの画角となる広角レンズです。F値は最小でF4ですが、私は絞って使うので問題にはなりませんでした。特筆すべきは、レンズの小ささと軽さです。重量が約189gしかなく、ポケットに入れて持ち運んでも苦になりません。PENTAXにはこのレンズの他に、ズームではDA12−24mmF４ED、単焦点ではDA14mmF2.8EDの広角レンズがあります。これらのレンズを比較して、機動性を重視してHD　DA15mmF4EDを購入しました。建物の全体の姿や、風景を気軽に写すのに良いレンズだと感じました。

★★★★★ Fun lens

As you can see, it has a small and cute appearance, but the image is more than one person, the color is good, and the color is good, which is unique to PENTAX. It's nice to be accustomed to SDM because it's shaky during AF. It doesn't bother me to carry three of 21mm, 40mm, and 70mm. I wonder why I was walking with a heavy large-diameter lens.

Original Japanese review
楽しいレンズ
見た通りに、小さくてかわいい外観、でも、写りは一人前以上、ヌケはよく、発色もいい、PENTAXならではのもの。AF時にシャコシャコいうのも、SDMに慣れた身には、なんかうれしい。21ｍｍ、40ｍｍ、70ｍｍの、3本持って歩いても苦にならない。なんで、重たい大口径レンズ持って歩いてたのかってなる。

I thought it would be difficult to compose the composition with the first ultra-wide-angle lens, but it was very easy to use, the focus sound was quiet, and I was surprised by the fine details.

Original Japanese review
どんな日常も画になりそうです
初めての超広角レンズで構図の組み方に苦戦するかと思いましたが、非常に使い勝手が良い上に、フォーカス音も静かで、何よりディテール細やかさに驚かされました。

★★★★★ Satisfied single focus

Translated by Google Satisfied single focus
Digiichi is the 4th PENTAX only lens, and I bought a limited lens for the first time, but it is perfect for my own convenience (mainly used for mountain climbing). I am very satisfied with the sharp and tight image that the zoom lens does not have.

Original Japanese review
満足の単焦点
デジイチはPENTAXオンリーで４台目、初めてlimitedレンズを買ってみましたが、自分の使い勝手(主に登山で使用)にピッタリです。ズームレンズには無いキリリと締った写りに大満足です。

★★★★★ There are some drawbacks, but it is easy to use.
Date posted : Wednesday, Jun 26 2019


Translated by Google There are some drawbacks, but it is easy to use.
I was worried because I could get a used 21mm old model for just under 30,000, which is almost half the price. However, in the reviews of various places, it is written that the image quality is clearly improved in HD, so I bought this after all. Since it is 21 mm (about 32 mm in conversion) with APS-C, it is not as wide as 18 mm (28 mm in conversion), and it is easy to use for taking snapshots in the city. A wider angle is fine for taking pictures of nature, but this angle of view is easy to use for swinging around in the city or sightseeing spots. Brightness is not good for a single focus, but it is a very easy-to-use lens for taking snapshots around F5.6-8. You can get up to 20 cm, so you can take a quick photo of the flowers you found while taking a walk. There are some aberrations, but nowadays it can be corrected electronically, so it's OK. The drawbacks are the dark point as a single focus and the old-fashioned DC motor operation. Also, since PENTAX has adopted dustproof and splashproof for the entry model, I wanted this lens to also be dustproof and splashproof. There will be a limit to this area in the renewal, and I look forward to the appearance of new limited lenses.

Original Japanese review
欠点もあるが使い勝手は良い
旧型21mmの中古なら3万弱と半額近い値段で手に入るのでかなり悩みました。ただ各所のレビューにてHDの方が明らかに画質が向上していると書かれているので結局こちらを購入。APS-Cで21mm(換算32mmくらい)なので18mm(換算28mm)ほど広くなく、街中でスナップを取るのに使いやすいです。大自然を撮るならもっと広角でもいいですが、街中や観光地で振り回すにはこのくらいの画角が使いやすいですね。単焦点としては明るさがイマイチですが、F5.6～8辺りでスナップを撮るにはなかなか使い勝手の良いレンズです。20cmまで寄れるので散歩中に見つけた花をパパっと撮ることも出来ますし。収差は少しありますが今どきは電子的に補正できるので、まあOKでしょう。欠点はやはり単焦点としては暗い点と古臭いDCモーター作動な点でしょうか。あとはエントリーモデルにも防塵防滴を採用しているPENTAXなので、このレンズにも防塵防滴も付けて欲しかったですね。この辺はリニューアルでは限度があるでしょうし、新規リミテッドレンズの登場に期待します。
