zeiss 15mm vs duclos 11-16mm

[Mark K.]

That actually doesn't matter anyway since the Zeiss 15mm is wider.

The Zeiss is 15mm in 35mm (Full frame). The Tokina/Duclos is 11mm in S35 (1.6 Crop factor).

AFAIK if my math is correct, the 11-16 translates to about 17-25 in Full Frame, whereas the Zeiss is 15mm.
There's a common misconception where people think the 11-16 is the widest lens out there, and thats certainly not the case, especially not for full frame.

The Tokina will cover full-frame from 15mm onwards, so it's comparable in coverage and max aperture.

I think you are missing the fact that he's in Canada. There is the "Canadian Crop" factor. A Canadian argument only makes .6x the sense that an actual argument makes. Where as being European, your argument actually makes 1.2x the sense as a normal argument, so it's like 2.4x as rational as a Canadian argument. Make sense?

Fucking amazing.
