Hey guys,
I am on the hunt for an ultrawide lens for my 6d.
Atm my widest is a 24mm, and sometimes I want to go wider, maybe around 17-20mm.
One problem for me is my small budget.
Any ideas for a lens that is sharp and has a filterthread of 77mm or below?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
-What is your budget? and what purpose (interior/landscape/arquitecture)?
From your signature it would be to use in full-frame Canon 6D, so
My suggestions:
- lowest budget : Tokina 17mmf/3.5 or tamron equivalente // "used" Sigma AF 20mm 1.8
- next step: Flektogon 20mm // Zuiko 21mm // Nikkor 20 // Zeiss distagon 18mm
- high: Canon TS-E 17mm f/4 // Canon 16-35 L / Nikkor 14-24mm _________________ Regards,

Thank you for the answer,
the Purpose would be mainly landscape, and some (exteriour) architecture.
And I would see my budget in the lower end, that you posted.
Very good range of lenses, thank you

There's always the Samyang 14/2.8 which you can get new and is of great quality.
Since you are using 6D there are many AF choices with Canon mount that are quite reasonably priced compared to the more expensive 16/17-35/2.8 or even the Tokina 16-28/2.8:
- Tamron 17-35/2.8-4
- Tamron 20-40/2.7-3.5
- Tamron 19-35/3.5-4.5
- SIgma 12-24/4.5-5.6
- Tokina 20-35/2.8
Canon and Nikon mounts are among the most common mounts you can find with these lenses, so it's easy to find. |

I tried a Sigma 16, didn't like it one bit - too much distortion. Then I tried a Vivitar 17, that was ok but the copy I had was bad and I sent it back. Now I've got the RMC Tokina 17 / 3.5 and I love it, there's so little distortion compared to the Sigma, it's sharp, the colours are good. It's just a very nice lens for the price they fetch. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

The price/performance ratio of the tokina is pretty much unbeatable.
Another one that can be had cheap and is a pretty good performer - even if a bit odd - is the Mir 20/3.5.
I like it very much for landscapes mostly because of its rich colours, but it suffers flare quite a lot. Sharpness looks good enough, but I fear that corners on FF can be quite bad. _________________ C&C and editing of my pics are always welcome

I will think about the Tokina, seems very affordable.
I got the Walimex (Samyang) 14mm in Pentax mount, mounted it on my 6d (although the adapter does not get it straight) and it was to wide and the distorstion was way to heavy, sadly.
Thanks for all the answers, guys

The old Tokina AF 3.5-4.5/20-35 is very good and cheap, sharp at all apertures.

Peleng 17mm f/2.8 may be good for you. I'm using it on my 6D, it's wide and not very fisheye, which is more suitable for most of the situation. The only bad thing is the front petals will leave some vignette on the 4 corners, even though cropping the image a little can solve the problem. It's prize is around $260. _________________

The Samyang 10mm is for apsc, so not really interesting on a 6d. The GoPro does not have RAW, and I like myself some viewfinder
To the Penleng: I used the russian Zenitar 16mm an was not really impressed by the images it gave me, even at f8.
So far what I have seen the Tokina seems to be the best bang for the buck.
Sharp at f8, only moderate CA and Distortion. Also the filterthread would be okay, together with a step up ring to 77mm or some gaffatape ( ), I would be able to use my Filters.
Thanks for all the answers,

Many Zenitar is assembled sloppy, if adjust good copy, can be awesome. Tokina is okay in third party race just like Tamron.
I like Nikkor 18mm too from above what you did post already. On Canon I suggest any Nikkor or Olympus OM lens what you can afford in this range, if you can't afford any of them go for Tokina or Tamron. I had most of them , Nikkor 18mm, 20mm, Olympus OM 18mm, Olympus OMN 21mm still with me... and I love much fisheye Konica 15mm and Zodiak 8b my unbeatable wide lenses what I like most. _________________ -------------------------------
