I've recently found myself documenting some of the Occupy marches and find that I need a decent wide angle lens.
I am shooting with a Canon 60D (1.6x crop factor).
That said, the Yashica ML 28/2.8 recommended to me by someone here has done a good job.
I was hoping to perhaps find something wider, 20MM, that might be better, perhaps even faster but they all seem to go for over $300.
Is there such a lens that can be had for around $300? |
