pentAx 15mm LimiteD<br />
Continued from page 88<br />
range, and its distortion control,<br />
as measured by our DxO<br />
Analyzer (version 3.2) tests,<br />
allowed only 0.17% barreling.<br />
That’s about half as much as the<br />
Pentax 14mm f/2.8 (not one of<br />
the Limited line) and one-third<br />
as much as the comparable<br />
20mm f/2.8 full-frame Nikkor<br />
lens that we tested back in 2003.<br />
Light falloff was gone by<br />
f/6.7 and, at the close-focusing<br />
distance of 6.75 inches, the<br />
maximum magnification was<br />
1:6.33—both strong results<br />
historically, yet about average for<br />
an ultrawide prime today.<br />
Compact and light (less<br />
than half a pound), this lens is<br />
a natural for travel, interiors,<br />
group portraits, and landscapes.<br />
Our field tests were unalloyed<br />
pleasures, especially the street<br />
shooting (see Showcase, page<br />
10), another class of <strong>photo</strong>graphy<br />
in which this small, inconspicuous<br />
lens excels.<br />
Does $550 seem high for an<br />
f/4? It shouldn’t necessarily.<br />
Among Pentax primes, you could<br />
opt for the $715 (street) 14mm<br />
f/2.8. You’d reap a stop more<br />
light, but with the 14mm you’d<br />
get nearly twice the lens, physically,<br />
and half the lens, optically.<br />
Especially if you value a svelte<br />
profile and (relatively) distortionfree<br />
shooting, that $550 seems<br />
very reasonable. —Julia Silber<br />
