  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

I´d like to purchase a wide angle lense without barrel distortion.

I allready own an ultraprimes lenses set, but i don´t want to invest in a super expensive lense.

I just want something for myself, something that i can buy 2nd hand and carry with me when i travel. Something like a 10mm rectilinear that produces nice images at T5.6 or so.

Any advices in this field?

If you can use a Nikon mount, the Voigtlander 12mm f5.6 looks good.

If you can wait for Birger with Canon or Nikon, some alternatives are
Canon 10-22mm, Sigma 10-20mm and Tokina 11-16mm (f2.8!).
 
Kinoptik 9.8mm or MKBK 10mm? Both can be had in PL and they are relatively cheap. ( $1000 - 2000 ). They are both pretty old designs and will not match your Ultra Primes. Probably OK for action shots... you can add a bit of contrast back in Redcine.
