No, I have:
01) 70-200 F4 IS USM
02) 15-85 IS USM

So need one is below 15mm

Which will be good?
My dad told me about the Canon 10-22 and Tokina 11-16:dunno:

Wah never check clubsnap for these few days Page 5 already =p

You can also consider the Sigma 8-16mm if you really want WIIIIDEEEE :thumbsup: The MTF charts look quite impressive.

Hello frankchn,
Wa,, confusing now and may be too wide and sure have alot of lens distortion. When I use 15mm I have to do lens correction in PS and not so easy...
So if use this sigma 8-16, the lens correction will be more..
Maybe Im wrong:dunno::dunno::dunno:

 

[frankchn]

If you are talking about optical distortion (e.g. barrel or pin-cushion distortion) then the Sigma 8-16mm is actually okay. Photozone.de tested it to have 2.87% barrel at 8mm and 0.72% pincushion at 16mm so it is quite good. (In comparison, the Samyang 14mm for FF has a 7% barrel distortion on FF and the TS-E 17L, that costs 3x the 8-16, still has a 1.17% barrel distortion).

If you are talking about perspective distortion due to the rectilinear projection of a 3D environment onto a 2D image plane, then I guess it is just something you have to try to work into the composition.

Hello Frankchn,
Wa.. sorry don't really quite understand all but I am actually talking about perspective distortion... I think so,.. the buildings are not straight vertical and horizontal when I use wide angle at 15mm. Yes must work on it and composition... Thanks

Hello mimik07 ,
wa , 10-22 . So this is canon . I will talk to my dad Btw , he also bought me the 10-stop ND filter . So I can take milkier water with longer exposure .

wah ur father so nice... btw can i call ur dad "god father"? ... i need a UWA also.. errr 14-24 can already... :embrass:

 

[Numnumball]

The magazine Digital Camera World uk Sept(or issit Aug...can't remember) issue has a shoot out for UWA lenses. Their review shows that best for canon is the canon 10-22. Same goes for Nikon. Interestingly, Best for Sony and Pentax is the Sigma 10-24 f3.5.

Personally I feel this is a good guide but not an all conclusive as they have miss a few good lenses in the shoot out.

How about Fullframe?? :devil:

Uhm, do you mean that the parallel lines converge when you try to shoot, e.g. http://photo.net/equipment/canon/tilt-shift-image1.gif? If that's the case, you need a wider lens and stand further back: http://photo.net/equipment/canon/tilt-shift-image2.gif. (Or you can get a shift lens, but they are very very expensive).

How about Fullframe?? :devil:

TS-E 17mm f/4L :devil:

 

[Numnumball]

TS-E 17mm f/4L :devil:

Nah.. UWA bro UWA.. not special purpose lens... :devil:

 

[frankchn]

:devil: but if you take 8 photos and stitch it is the widest you can go on 35mm FF on any system - UWA to me

 

[MGohzxc]

Hi frankchn,
Wa.. difiicult to understand... btw I am still a newbie but roughly can understand

 

[scubagolfer]

No need to read and research, just ask Daddy buy the Canon 10-22 ...
Then change your 15-85 to 17-55
And lastly buy a 100mm macro lens so can go take Macro with Uncle NNB and Uncle Jacobs
All of the above are good gadgets, so daddy sure approve de

Bro... 2 words... "NO FILTER"

bulging front element... no filters allowed... out the door for me.

The Sigma 12-24 does allow rear gel filters though.

I am not very inclined towards gel filters actually...
