Hi everyone! There is no presentation subforum it seems, and I am new here, so hello to all.
This is my first question also.
i am the recent happy owner of two Kiev-6s. The first camera came with a Vega-12 90 mm lens, and i have bought from Serbia on Ebay a Mir-3 65 mm. Very nice lens.
Yet i am thinking of some wider one. When i travel I take a lot of architecture or landscape, and often a very wide angle is the fast and easy way to capture some building or view.
in ten days I will be in Sankt-Peterburg then Moscow, and i can get a Zodiak-8 for 8000 rb, a Flektogon 50 mm for 6000 rb, a Mir-26 45 mm for 4000 rb. I'll buy one of these.
I have read a lot online about the Zodiak-8/Arsat 30 mm but this one is a fish-eye. In the digital era, software can be used to soften and rectify to some point the fish-eye distorsion but results can be more or less good depending the lines, perspectives and distances to edge of the main subjet/object in the picture.
So i wondering if, in the long run, it is wise to carry the Zodiak-8 along the 65 mm Mir-3 in a travel bag, instead of a Mir-26 or Flektogon 50mm and the Mir-3. I use to travel light and the Kiev-6s house with two lenses is the max load I am wanting to take.
so, very interested in opinions and experiences here |
