I haven’t used wider than 18 either, but have been contemplating something wider, so am interested in the opinions on this thread too.
I usually buy in Conns Cameras – which do allow you to rent the lense first and if you opt to buy it after the rental period, they’ll knock the rental price of the purchase price. Can’t go wrong!
I just went from a 19-35 to a 10-20 the other day and still getting the hang of it – it has come in handy doing team & group photos for the local paper already and as it has 100 degree angle you basically get everything except your feet.
I like conns too – they almost always knock a chunk off the price if you buy items together – or even just for asking they will take 10 -15% off.
I’m thinking about Nikon 10.5mm f2.8 G DX IF-ED Lens – its priced around 800 euro on conns cameras, but I’m hoping a friend can pick one up at B&H in New York for me for around 500 euro
Be curious to see if there are better options resulting from this thread though
