On looking at what I posted, only the first looked like it was taken with the 15mm - which it certainly was. I think I may have switched switched to a 28mm for the last three pics - but it does not show on the EXIF. Subsequent pics show 28mm in the EXIF. I will reshoot some direct comparisons next week.
