How wide on an ef body

[KIPAX]

I am looking for WIDE options say 10mm upwards to maybe 14mm at the most... but NOT fisheye . What are my options on a canon 1dx .. Don't mind 3rd party




Budget.. this is going on a remote camera at sports events so could get battered.. cheaper the better then haha

Sigma 12-24?

 

[Jim_Tod]

What about a samyang 14mm 2.8 or irix 11mm f4

Sigma 12-24?

Looking at a 4.5-5.6 one now as apposed to the more expensive f4.. I will only be using at 12mm so its always going to be f4.5 no point paying extra .. While I searched for this lens you advised.. i came accross this

I am unsure if 14mm will work... never heard of the irix lens before.. just googling and youtubing now

Laowa 12mm F2.8 - manual, but i love it. built like a tank. Not sure if it fits your needs though as the element will be exposed.,,,

I think I was referring to the old variable aperture.
I think the Tamron is a crop lens?

Could be wrong.

Yes, they do 2 versions the blackstone i think is an all metal body and the firestone a plastic body- i dont mean cheap plastic. Ive got a 15mm, they have a focus lock on the ring which i left locked at about 1m for hyperfocal on landscapes,

 

[woof woof]

When I had Canon DSLR's I had the Sigma 12-24mm and I loved it. One thing in its favour is that it seems to be a very well corrected lens.

I also had the very cheap Canon 20-35mm USM which was cheap and light but had massive distortion. Not 12mm though

 

[Nod]

The Sigma 12-24 is very well corrected for rectilinear distortion. Fairly extreme perspective though! (I love it!!!)

 

[Brentor]

I assume you are referring to the non Art version?

 

[Nod]

I am, yes.
