Hi!

Can somebody recommend me a wide angel PRIME for a FF?

The EF 14mm L is a quite nice one, but its very expensieve for me...

Im looking for a lens with a maximum focal lenght of 16mm, and with "screw on filter" support (if that exists on these wide lens).

Thank you very much!

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. Although it's "designed" for crop bodies, I believe the vignetting is minimal as you approach 16mm.

Apart from the 14L, you won't get a wider prime that's not a fisheye.

Tamron and Sigma both did an AF 14mm f/2.8, but I don't think either is still available new - the Sigma certainly isn't. The Samyang is manual focus.

Also comes made by Bower and Rokinon. It's definitely wide and definitely sharp! Also definitely affordable. Has kind of gnarly distortion though. I have it on a crop where it's easy to correct. Not sure about correcting it on a FF...

Apart from being neither a prime nor for FF bodies...

I have one of these and when it comes to landscapes and cityscapes this is one of my most cherished lenses
