Ok, so hears a question to all you *ist-D'ers Wide angle
Well we all know its a little problem with the 1.5x factor, but companies have responded.
Pentax with there 16-45mm, and 14mm DA lenses and the 18-35mm J lens
Sigma has had out their 15-30mm, 17-35?mm, 18-50mm and now their 12-24mm (all full 35mm frame)
Tokina previewed a 12-24mm (digital only) also (they have had for a wile their 19-35mm and 20-35mm but these really aren’t wide enough in this cat.)
Tamaron with their new 17-35mm
Looks to me that Sigma has really been the only one to sense the trend for small image circle size, but are allowing us film users to go wider than we have ever been before (with out fish-eye) now all of these offer a PK mount, so witch one would you buy.
Lets here your responses
