Michele, You stand a better chance of doing what you want with a f/2.8 constant aperture lens than you do with an f/4 but f/2.8 lenses at those focal lengths are pretty expensive. Not that the FA 20-35 f/4 is exactly cheap, either. If cost is a major consideration, you could go with a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 and save a lot of money. Don't like fisheyes? Correct the perspective with PhotoShop, assuming that you have a scanner and a computer available.

Not having any lenses that go below 24mm, and wanting to have tpossibility to blur background beyond 2-3 meters behind tghe subject which is close, I was wondring how these 2 lenses fared.
