Just for fun, what UWA do you prefer?

I am just curious what people do like more about a full frame UWA.

Option 1:
16-xx mm f/4.0 with IS which has a filter thread

Option 2:
14-xx mm f/2.8 without IS and without filter tread

So do you really need some extra range or extra stop or do you like a slower lens with a filter thread and IS more?

If you had to choose one for your style which one would you choose? And why?

I choose 8-15... I mean why go half fast wide when you can go really wide!!!!

so... you want to know if we prefer the 16-35 f/4 L IS or the 14 f/2.8 L II?

8-15mm fish . Excellent lens if you feel right with a fisheye. No need IS with this lens , but that's what i prefer.

I haven't ever used either lens you mentioned above, and I guess a TSE 17mm isn't considered a UWA lens.

None that you listed!

(For fun) I like to "play" with a Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 with a 1.4X on a FF. This makes for about an 11-23mm f/6.3-8. It still retains AF, still sharp, and has relatively minor vignetting. Noticeably wider FOV than when on a crop camera with no TC. I prefer the rectilinear look over that of a fisheye (most of the time).

For use on important stuff, the 17-40L on FF.

Heya,

It's all relative. Some like fisheye. Some don't. Some embrace the distortion. Some don't.

I like 8mm fisheye (aps-c) and 12mm fisheye (full frame).
I like 11-16mm F2.8 (aps-c), I like 17-40mm F4L (full frame).

It's all about what features you're after. What perspective you like. And again, what distortion you want to embrace.

Very best,

8mm fisheye.

The 10mm end of my EF-S 10-18mm STM for video.

My 8-15 on 5D3 keeps the corners until about 13mm. It's a great UWA. I use the 17-40 too, neither of these lenses are a choice on your poll.

I like my TS-E 17mm f/4L.

I love wide angle, but for landscape use. So I voted 16-XX.

17-40 on a 6D.

Experimenting with a 14mm filtered. Really love the 14, but hate it due to the filter situation.... Now I have a filtered 14/but hardly any time...
