Ya I've noticed it's not a cheap hobby/profession...
14mm, ok I'll look around. I also like the fish eye look, any suggestions on something affordable but still good quality?
Hi Waldo
Welcome to the forum.
I am not sure if the excellent Sigma 10-20 lens can be used on your camera. Robert or Jonathan will be able to confirm this. If it can, then it would be top of my list of recommendations for wider than 18mm.
For fisheye effect you need to be down below 10mm. At these short focal lengths, tight focusing is frequently unnecessary, so manual focusing shouldn't be a constraint.
Kelda and Peleng do a cheapish 6.5mm and Vivitar do an 8mm.
Cant vouch for quality but frankly, creative distortion takes centre stage with fisheye lenses and people don't look that closely to see if its tack sharp.
