Hi there, I am not exactly new to the forum but I lost my old account so I make a new one. I recently jumped ship from Canon to Nikon and looking to get an affordable ultra-wide from KEH before I save up money for the Nikon 14-24. I searched and found many options and got a list of these: Yashica ML 21mm, Flektogon 20mm both f2.8 and F4, Tokina 17mm, any Nikon 20mm, Tamron SP 17mm, etc... I just want to hear some input as to which few would be adequate to pair with the D800's resolution for landscape. I like as wide as possible.
Thanks in advance!! |

Welcome!
Nikon has longest register distance from all SLR cameras means most other system lenses are not reach infinity so useless to you.
I suggest to take Nikon lens step before others what you can mount Tokina or Tamron .
Nikon 20mm any of them or Nikon 18mm way to go for you. _________________ -------------------------------

As unsexy as it may sound, if very wide is how you like them, I doubt you could get better than Samyang 14/2.8 UC, even if money was no object. There are two caveats with that lens - it takes no filters and the distortion is not great but largely correctable in PTLens. Everything else is stellar - sharpness corner to corner, extremely low CA, etc. Check out the reviews (I think DxO reviewed it on the D800 actually). |
