All, I'd like to add super-wide-angle capability to my photo setup. I've been mulling over the options, and I'm hoping to get some advice from the list. I'd like to go rectilinear rather than fisheye, and here are the options I'm considering:
Cheap: ------ Vivitar 19mm or Russian/Ukranian 20mm (are either of these worth considering?) Medium: ------- Tokina 20-35 zoom (in the $200's) Used SMC-M 20mm F4 (around $350) Expensive: ---------- SMC-A or FA 20mm F2.8 ($400-500) FA 20-35mm F4 ($450?) Insanely Expensive ------------------- Used SMC or SMC-A 15mm ($750-900) With the above options in mind, here are my questions: 1) Are the MIR or Vivitars even worth considering? 2) Is the Pentax 20-35 that much better than the Tokina? 3) Are the primes that much better than the zooms? 4) Anyone out there have experience with the 15mm? Thanks a lot in advance! TTYL, --Mark (KE6NJ, inactive for more than a decade....) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
