Heavy beauty
Very rare: http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/primes/ultra-wide/K15f3.5-i.html

"a total of about 900 Takumar 15/3.5 lenses were produced, 400 of which employed aspherical construction. On the other hand, only about the 100 of the SMC PENTAX 1:3.5/15 were aspherical. The remaining SMC PENTAX 1:3.5/15, all SMC PENTAX 1:3.5 15mm and all SMC PENTAX-A 1:3.5 15mm are based on the spherical optical formula."

I have many slides from film days, but haven't scanned. On crop sensor the photos are not as nice. Here taken with pentax K20d, wide open:

They are very contrasty and colorful though. Much better than I anticipated! I should check out the 15mm myself Wink

Thanks Peter.
I need to use it more often on crop sensor. Film development is too time consumption for me at the moment.

Thanks Iaza.

You know, Peter (Spotmatic)'s photos are so awesome that I need to think twice before I post mine.
I found out to pick the lenses NOT in Peter's list would be the best bet Laughing
