Wide Angle on a FF

Re: Wide Angle on a FF

Check our CR Webby, it seems Canon have a couple of new FF wide-angles in the offing, including a 14-24 f/2.8 which sounds both expensive and desirable!

The very highly regarded Nikon equivalent is £1300'ish ... so whilst Canon's initial pricing will be higher it may settle down around that price point.

14-24 2.8 sounds brilliant. Like you both say it isn't going to be cheap is it.

The 16-50 f/4 sounds cheaper and reasonably desirable as well :-)

Re: Wide Angle on a FF

You can use the 14-24mm Nikon lens on a Canon body, I've known people who do. It's sharper than my 14mm f2.8 II (and quite a bit cheaper, foo), but has a lot of distortion (the Canon lens is only 1.5%, so really good). It's also big, unlike the Canon prime. Finally it shows flare quite a bit more (I believe).

IIRC most people use this adapter: http://www.16-9.net/nikon_g/ which is the same as the Novoflex EOS/NIK NT adapter: http://www.novoflex.com/index.php

here's an article on the 14-24, but I believe it refers to an older version of the adapter...

Personally I'd stick to EF glass...

Sounds doesn't necessarily relate to will be in Canon land!

Anybody tried the Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4 EX DG HSM lens ? (this is the 2nd generation, not the non DG version)

Ah, there's a second version of the 8-15:

Gotta love Etsy... so many great shops.
BTW the same shop also have a version of the Nikon ultra-wide zoom: http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/12276...shop_home_feat
...complete with removable lens hood!
